Biolegend, 129706, FITC anti-mouse CD199 (CCR9) Antibody, 500μg

CCR9 is a member of the G protein coupled receptor family and is involved in T cell development in the thymus and in gut-associated immune response. Mouse CCR9 is highly expressed on different stages of thymocytes and upregulated on CD4+CD8+ cells. It is expressed to a much lower level on spleen and lymph node cells. Expression of CCR9 on γ/δ T cells in the intraepithelial and small intestine has been reported. The interaction of CCR9 with its ligand CCL25 (TECK, thymus-expressed chemokine) may direct the trafficking of developing T cells in the thymus and generation of gut-specific immunological memory.

Q: Does staining at room temperature or even at 37°C help for checking chemokine receptors expression?
A: Due to continuous recycling of many chemokine receptors, it may be worthwhile to consider staining at room temperature or at 37°C if the staining at lower temperature (which can potentially reduce receptor turnover) is not optimal.
