CX3CR1 is a fractalkaine receptor that regulates chemotaxis and adhesion in white blood cells . Impairment of CX3CR1 function has been associated with defects in hippocampal cognition and neuronal plasticity . Cells expressing CX3CR1 receptors inhibit T-cell proliferation and subsequently prevent intestinal inflammation . Anti-CX3CR-1, N-Terminal antibody is specific for CX3CR1 by immunoblotting using human spleen tissue lysate. The antibody also reacts with mouse and rat CX3CR1.
Immunogen
synthetic peptide corresponding to the N-terminal and amino acids 2-21 of human CX3CR1 (V28, CMKBRL1). This sequence differs from mouse and rat by four amino acids.
Application
Anti-CX3CR-1, N-Terminal antibody is suitable for use in immunoblot (approx. 50kDa), western blot (0.5-1 μg/ml) using human spleen lysate) and immunohistochemistry (~2 μg/mL using human heart tissue).
Physical form
Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline containing 0.02% sodium azide.

Embryo implantation and subsequent placentation require a fine balanced fetal-maternal cross-talk of hormones, cytokines and chemokines. Amongst the group of chemokines, CX3CL1 (also known as fractalkine) has recently attracted attention in the field of reproductive research. It exists both as

Microglia, the resident immune cells of the brain, play important roles in defending the brain against pathogens and supporting neuronal circuit plasticity. Chronic or excessive pro-inflammatory responses of microglia damage neurons, therefore their activity is tightly regulated. Pharmacological and genetic

Adequate activation of CD4(+) T lymphocytes is essential for host defense against invading pathogens; however, exaggerated activity of effector CD4(+) T cells induces tissue damage, leading to inflammatory disorders such as inflammatory bowel diseases. Several unique subsets of intestinal innate

The protective/neurotoxic role of fractalkine (CX3CL1) and its receptor CX3C chemokine receptor 1 (CX3CR1) signaling in neurodegenerative disease is an intricate and highly debated research topic and it is becoming even more complicated as new studies reveal discordant results. It
Maternal immune activation (MIA) is a proposed risk factor for multiple neuropsychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia. However, the molecular mechanisms through which MIA imparts risk remain poorly understood. A recently developed nonhuman primate model of exposure to the viral mimic poly:ICLC
