ChemiSCREEN Membrane Preparation Recombinant Human CXCR1 Chemokine Receptor

Descrição detalhada : : Full-length human CXCR1 cDNA, CXCR1 (also known as IL-8RA) is a Gi/o-coupled GPCR expressed on neutrophils, CD8(+) T cells, and intestinal epithelial cells (Murphy, 1997; Sturm et al., 2005; Takata et al., 2004). CXCR1 binds specifically to the chemokine interleukin-8 (IL-8), whereas a related receptor, CXCR2, binds promiscuously to IL-8 and several other chemokines. CXCR1 has been proposed to be the primary regulator of neutrophil response to IL-8 in sepsis (Cummings et al., 1999). Antagonists of CXCR1 and CXCR2 have been developed and display efficacy in animal models of reperfusion injury (Bertini, et al., 2004; Kaneider et al., 2005). Millipore's CXCR1 membrane preparations are crude membrane preparations made from our proprietary stable recombinant cell lines to ensure high-level of GPCR surface expression; thus, they are ideal HTS tools for screening of antagonists of CXCR1 interaction with IL-8. The membrane preparations exhibit a Kd of 0.2 nM for [125I]-IL-8. With 5 mug/well CXCR1 Membrane Prep and 0.1 nM [125I]-IL-8, a greater than 5-fold signal-to-background ratio is obtained.
