Antigen Preparation
A synthetic peptide of human CCR1
Background
"CCR1, also known CD191, is a 41 kD belonging to of the beta chemokine receptor family, which is predicted to be a seven transmembrane protein similar to G protein-coupled receptors. The ligands of this receptor include macrophage inflammatory protein 1 alpha (MIP-1 alpha), regulated on activation normal T expressed and secreted protein (RANTES), monocyte chemoattractant protein 3 (MCP-3), and myeloid progenitor inhibitory factor-1 (MPIF-1). Chemokines and their receptors mediated signal transduction are critical for the recruitment of effector immune cells to the site of inflammation. CCR1 is also expressed by a subset of T cells and eosinophils. CCR1 positive cells can migrate in response to a CCL3 and CCL5 gradient. CCR1 knock-out studies suggest that this molecule plays an important role in inflammation and susceptibility to viruses and parasites."
