DescriptionReady-to-Assay™ ChemR23 Chemoattractant Receptor Frozen Cells
Background InformationMillipore’s Ready-to-Assay GPCR frozen cells are designed for simple, rapid calcium assays with no requirement for intensive cell culturing. Millipore has optimized the freezing conditions to provide cells with high viability and functionality post-thaw. The user simply thaws the cells and resuspends them in media, dispenses cell suspension into assay plates and, following over night recovery, assays for calcium response.

ChemR23 was discovered as an orphan receptor related to the chemoattractant receptors C3a, C5a and FPR1, and expressed on dendritic cells and macrophages (Samson et al., 1998). A ligand for ChemR23 was characterized as chemerin, a 15 kD proteolytically processed protein found in inflammatory sites; a 9 amino acid peptide from the C-terminus of chemerin is sufficient to activate ChemR23 (Wittamer et al., 2003, 2004). Chemerin expressed in lymphoid and microvascular endothelium mediates migration of ChemR23-expressing dendritic cells to lymphoid organs and vasculature at sites of inflammation (Vermi et al., 2005). In addition, a bioactive lipid, resolvin E1, was found to functionally interact with ChemR23 to reduce inflammation (Arita et al., 2005). Millipore’s cloned human ChemR23-expressing cell line is made in the Chem-1 host, which supports high levels of recombinant ChemR23 expression on the cell surface and contains high levels of the promiscuous G protein Gα15 to couple the receptor to the calcium signaling pathway. Thus, the cell line is an ideal tool for screening for agonists, antagonists and modulators at ChemR23
