Description: CCR2, a Chemokine Receptor, is a regulator of monocyte/macrophage trafficking and is upregulated in response to inflammation. Resistance to HIV-1 infection or delayed progression to AIDS may be linked to CCR2 polymorphisms. The ligand for CCR2 is monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP-1), a chemokine produced by endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and macrophages. Activation of monocytes by MCP-1 may mediate the monocytic infiltration of tissues in atherosclerosis (Boring et al., 1998) and other inflammatory disorders including rheumatoid arthritis, alveolitis, and tumor infiltration. Two isoforms are produced by alternative splicing. CCR2 has been reported to be expressed in a wide variety of tissues, including blood, brain, heart, kidney, liver, lung, ovary, pancreas, spinal cord, spleen, thymus and vessel. Increased expression of CCR2 has been documented in CD3+ lymphocytes in rheumatoid arthritis (Ruth et al., 2001). ESTs have been isolated from liver/spleen and prostate libraries. Applications: Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Immunohistochemistry: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, add sterile glycerol (40-50%), aliquot and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. |
