CD196 (CCR6) Antibody, anti-mo

Identification and enumeration of CD196 (CCR6)+ cells by flow cytometryClone REA277 recognizes the CD196 antigen, a G protein–linked chemokine receptor also known as C-C chemokine receptor type 6 (CCR6). CD196 is preferentially expressed by B cells, immature dendritic cells, and subsets of T cells. The ligand of CD196 is macrophage inflammatory protein 3 alpha (MIP-3α) and binding subsequently transduces a signal by increasing the intracellular calcium ions level. CD196 has been shown to be important for B-lineage maturation and antigen-driven B cell differentiation, and it may regulate the migration and recruitment of dendritic and T cells during inflammatory and immunological responses. Targeting CD196 or its ligand may be a promising therapeutic strategy to alleviate atherosclerosis. | Additional information: Clone REA277 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors. |
