DescriptionReady-to-Assay™ XCR1 Chemokine Family Receptor Frozen Cells
Background InformationMillipore’s Ready-to-Assay GPCR frozen cells are designed for simple, rapid calcium assays with no requirement for intensive cell culturing. Millipore has optimized the freezing conditions to provide cells with high viability and functionality post-thaw. The user simply thaws the cells and resuspends them in media, dispenses cell suspension into assay plates and, following over night recovery, assays for calcium response.

The migration of leukocytes from the bloodstream to sites of inflammation is a dynamic factor involving adhesion molecules and chemotactic factors. Chemokines play a role in the trafficking of leukocytes by inducing cellular motility and activating adhesion molecules within the immune system. Lymphotactin (also known as XCL1 and SCM-1) is a unique chemokine that retains only two of the four cysteine residues found in the CC, CXC and CX3C families of chemokines. A Gi-coupled receptor, XCR1, binds to lymphotactin and mediates its chemotactic effects (Yoshida et al., 1998). Chemokines promote accumulation of activated mononuclear cells (MNCs) in inflamed joints in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and lymphotacin is highly expressed in synovial fluid of RA patients. In situ hybridization studies indicate that XCR1 expression was detected in both the infiltrated MNCs and the synoviocytes from synovial specimens taken from RA patients (Wang et al., 2004). Millipore’s cloned human XCR1-expressing cell line is made in the Chem-4 host, which supports high levels of recombinant XCR1 expression on the cell surface and contains optimized levels of a recombinant promiscuous G protein to couple the receptor to the calcium signaling pathway. Thus, the cell line is an ideal tool for screening for agonists, antagonists and modulators at XCR1.
