CXCR6 Antibody

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) require coreceptors to enter and infect target cells. They are dependent upon an interaction between the viral envelope glycoprotein with T-cell antigen T4 (CD4) and a G protein coupled receptor (GPCR). HIV-1 infection relies upon interaction with a chemokine receptor, usually chemokine (C-C) receptor 5 (CCR5). During progression of the infection, the virus tends to rely upon chemokine (C-X-C) receptor 4 (CXCR4). SIV also utilizes CCR5 in the early stages of infection, but during progression it tends to rely on two orphan GPCR's named chemokine (C-X-C) receptor 6 (Bonzo) and G protein coupled receptor 15 (BOB/GRP15). Bonzo mRNA expression has been localized to lymphoid tissues and activated peripheral blood lymphocytes. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) require co-receptors, in addition to CD4, to infect target cells. Some G protein coupled receptors including CCR5, CXCR4, CCR3, and CCR2b in the chemokine receptor family have been identified as HIV co-receptors. An orphan G protein coupled receptor was recently cloned and designated Bonzo, STRL33 and TYMSTR, and identified as HIV and SIV co-receptor (1-4). Bonzo/STRL33 is used by SIV, HIV-2 and HIV-1. The messenger RNA of Bonzo/STRL33 is expressed in lymphoid tissues and activated peripheral blood lymphocytes.
