REA546 recognizes the human CD197 antigen, which is also known as CCR7. CD197 is a chemokine receptor with a C-C motif that mediates homing of T cells to secondary lymphoid organs via high endothelial venules (HEV). For example, naive T cells migrate very efficiently through lymph nodes using the adhesion molecules L-selectin, CD62L, and CCR7. Ligands for CCR7, e.g. CCL19, are expressed by the HEV of secondary lymphoid organs, by parenchymal cells within T cell zones of lymph nodes, and by endothelial cells at the openings of lymphatic vessels within peripheral tissues. Expression of CCR7 and the CD45RA isoform distinguishes three subsets of T cells: naive T cells (CCR7+CD45RA+), central memory T cells (CCR7+ CD45RA-), and effector memory T cells (CCR7- CD45RA-). Additional information: Clone REA546 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors.
An antibody, specific receptor protein, ligand, nucleic acid sequence (e.g., primer, probe) or similar reagent, which through specific binding or chemical reaction with an intended target, is used to identify or quantify a chemical substance in a biological specimen for the development of a laboratory developed test (LDT) or commercial in vitro diagnostic medical device (IVD). Commonly referred to as an analyte specific reagent (ASR), it is neither labelled with instructions for use nor diagnostic or performance claims.
