This antibody recognises the chicken homologue of human CD184, also known as CXCR4 (C-X-C Receptor type 4) and fusin.CXCR4 is a receptor for the chemokine, stromal-derived factor-1 (SDF-1), also known as CXCL12. Research has demonstrated that in chicks CXCR4 is expressed by cardiac neural crest cells and together with SDF-1 is involved with the migration of cells and development of the heart. Where CXCR4 function is lost, cell migration is impaired resulting in cell death and misexpression of SDF-1 leading to cardiovascular defects (Escot et al. 2013). CXCR4 expression is also linked with other development processes including cerebellar development and with vascularization of the gastrointestinal tract. Clone 9D9 provides a useful antibody for studying development biological processes.Bursa cells may be used as a positive control for CXCR4 in flow cytometry.
