Buffer
PBS containing 0.02 % sodium azide.
Preservative
Sodium azide
Precaution of Use
WARNING: Reagents contain sodium azide. Sodium azide is very toxic if ingested or inhaled. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Wear eye or face protection when handling. If skin or eye contact occurs, wash with copious amounts of water. If ingested or inhaled, contact a physician immediately. Sodium azide yields toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide-containing compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in lead or copper plumbing.
Handling Advice
Avoid freezing and thawing repeatly.
Storage
4 °C/-20 °C
Storage Comment
Store at 4 °C for short term use.Store at -20 °C for long term preservation.
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and related virus require coreceptors to infect target cells.Some G protein-coupled receptors including CCR5, CXCR4, CCR3, CCR2b, CCR8, GPR15, STRL33, and CX3CR1 in the chemokine receptor family were recently identified as HIV coreceptors.CCR5, CXCR4 and CCR3 are the principal receptors for HIV fusion and entry of target cells.CCR3 facilitates infection by a subset of virus.CCR3 and CCR5 promote efficient infection of microglia, the major target cells in the CNS.High levels of CCR3 and CXCR4 expression were found on the neurons from both the central and peripheral nervous systems.The CCR3 ligand, eotaxin, and an anti-CCR3 antibody inhibited HIV infection of microglia.These results indicate CCR3 plays an important role in HIV infection of CNS. Synonyms: CC chemokine receptor 3, eosinophil eotaxin receptor
