The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography and conjugated with PE under optimal conditions. The solution is free of unconjugated PE and unconjugated antibody.
CCR8, also known as ChemR1, TER1, and CKR-L1, belongs to the beta chemokine receptor family. It is predicted to be a seven transmembrane protein similar to G protein-coupled receptors. CCR8 is expressed on some subsets of T cells, monocytes, macrophages, eosinophils, thymocytes, Langerhans cells, neurons, and vascular smooth muscle cells. Binding with its ligand CCL1, CCR8 plays a role in the regulation of monocyte chemotaxis and thymic cell apoptosis. It has been reported that CCR8 is also a receptor for CCL18. CCR8 is also believed to be an alternative coreceptor to CD4 for HIV-1 infection.
