AHP1589 recognises an epiptope within the N-terminal region (NT) of Human CX3CR1, a 40.4kDa seven trans-membrane protein.
CX3CR1, known also as fractalkine receptor, is the receptor for CX3CL1 and acts as a co-receptor with CD4 for the HIV-1 envelope protein. It is expressed in a variety of human tissues and mediates leucocyte adhesion and migration.

AHP1589 detects a band of approximately 50kDa in human spleen cell lysates.
Storage
Store at +4oC or at -20oC if preferred.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended.
This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
Shelf Life
18 months from date of despatch.
Antiserum Preparation
Antiserum to human CX3CR1 (NT) was raised by repeated immunisation of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared from whole serum by affinity chromatography.
