CMKLR1 (also known as ChemR23 or DEZ), is a recently-described serpentine chemoattractant receptor. CMKLR1 has been shown to be expressed by dendritic cells (DC) generated in vitro from monocytes, and to mediate their migration to the proteolytically regulated chemoattractant chemerin. CMKLR1 is expressed by circulating DCs in human blood. Importantly, it is selectively expressed by immature plasmacytoid DCs, but not myeloid DCs, thus enabling discrimination between these two dendritic cell lineages. While CMKLR1 is expressed by circulating pDCs in human blood, mDCs, as well as lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, and eosinophils are negative. Human serum contains a chemoattractant for CMKLR1 which is identical with chemerin; this activity is triggered during blood coagulation, suggesting a mechanism for attraction of pDCs to sites of tissue damage and bleeding. Expression of CMKLR1 and migration to locally activated chemerin may allow the rapid and differential recruitment of pDCs in vivo. Unlike mDCs, circulating pDCs do not respond to inflammatory chemokines. Applications ReportedFor research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. This BZ332 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications TestedThis BZ332 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of human CMKLR1-transfected cells. This can be used at less than or equal to 1 μg per million cells in a 100 μl total staining volume. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest. References
