CCR7, also known as CD197, is a G-protein coupled chemokine receptor that plays a central role in directing immune cell trafficking and lymphoid tissue organization. This receptor guides the migration of dendritic cells and T lymphocytes to secondary lymphoid organs through its interaction with chemokine ligands CCL19 and CCL21, making it essential for adaptive immune responses. In cancer research, CCR7 expression has emerged as a significant marker associated with lymph node metastasis across multiple tumor types, positioning it as both a prognostic indicator and potential therapeutic target.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 22E12, offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding experimental workflows require. Produced using recombinant technology with a defined sequence, it eliminates the lot-to-lot variability that can compromise longitudinal studies or multi-site collaborations. The rabbit IgG format, raised against a synthetic peptide derived from human CCR7, provides reliable detection across human and mouse samples.
Validation studies demonstrate robust performance in western blot applications, where the antibody detects a band at the predicted 43 kDa molecular weight. Testing across diverse sample types confirms versatility, with positive detection in Jurkat, Raji, A549, A431, K562, U-937, and HL-60 cell lysates, as well as mouse lung tissue, supporting cross-species reactivity for comparative studies. Immunofluorescence validation in A549 cells reveals clear cellular localization patterns, enabling visualization of CCR7 distribution in fixed cell preparations.
Whether investigating immune cell homing mechanisms, characterizing tumor metastatic potential, or exploring inflammatory responses, this antibody provides a dependable tool for researchers working at the intersection of immunology and cancer biology.
