Bio-Rad, AHP1010, CD193 antibody

Rabbit anti Human CD193 antibody recognizes human CD193, otherwise known as CC chemokine receptor 3 (CCR3), a seven-helix transmembrane G-protein coupled receptor which, along with CCR5 and CXCR4, acts as a principal receptor for the fusion and entry of HIV into target cells. CD193 is expressed by eosinophils, basophils, mast cells, microglia, Th 2 helper cells and some epithelial cells. CD193 acts as a receptor for several CC chemokines including monocyte chemoattractant proteins (MCP) -1, -2, -3 and -4, MIP-1a, MIP-1β, and RANTES. The eotaxin subgroup of CC chemokines act as specific agonists for CD193 involved in infection of microglia by HIV ( He et al. 1997 ) and allergic reactions ( Holse et al. 2006 ). Rabbit anti Human CD193 antibody has been used successfully for the detection of human CD193 by immunohistochemistry on formalin fixed, paraffin embedded intervertebral disc tissue ( Gruber et al. 2014 ).
