Anti-Bonzo (CT) Antibody
ORDERING INFORMATION
Catalog No.: 2415
Size: 100 ug IgG in PBS, pH 7.4, purified by immunoaffinity chroma- tography.
BACKGROUND
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) require coreceptors in addition to CD4 to infect target cells. Some G protein-coupled receptors in the chemokine receptor family, including CCR5, CXCR4, CCR3, and CCR2b, have previously been identified as HIV coreceptors. An orphan G protein- coupled receptor designated Bonzo was recently cloned and identified as a HIV- 1 and -2 and SIV coreceptor (also called STRL33 and TYMSTR). The messenger RNA for Bonzo is expressed in lymphoid tissues and activated peripheral blood lymphocytes.

SPECIFICITY
This antibody recognizes full-length Bonzo (40 kD).
APPLICATIONS
Immunoblotting: use at 1:1,000 dilution.
Positive control: Whole cell lysate from SW1353 cells.
DILUTION INSTRUCTIONS
Dilute in PBS or medium which is identical to that used in the assay system.
STORAGE AND STABILITY
This antibody is stable for at least one (1) year at -20°C. Avoid multiple freeze- thaw cycles.
