General description

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 ChemR23 membrane preparations are crude membrane preparations made from our proprietary stable recombinant cell lines to ensure high-level of GPCR surface expression; thus, they are ideal HTS tools for screening of ChemR23 interactions with its ligands. The membrane preparations exhibit EC50s of 0.37 nM for chemerin in a GTPγS binding assay.

Specifications

Inucbation Conditions
ASSAY CONDITIONS: Membranes are permeabilized by addition of saponin to an equal concentration by mass, then mixed with [35S]-GTPγS (final concentration of 0.3 nM) in 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4/100 mM NaCl/10 mM MgCl2/0.5 μM GDP in a nonbinding 96-well plate. Unlabeled chemerin was added to the final concentration indicated in Figure 1 (final volume 100 μL), and incubated for 30 min at 30°C. The binding reaction is transferred to a GF/B filter plate (Millipore MAHF B1H) previously prewetted with water. The plate is washed 3 times (1 mL per well per wash) with cold 10 mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.4, then dried and counted.

One vial contains enough membranes for at least 200 assays (units), where one unit is the amount of membrane that will yield greater than 1000 cpm specific chemerin-stimulated [35S]-GTPγS binding.

The ChemR23 membrane preparation is expected to be functional in a radioligand binding assay; however, the end user will need to determine the optimal radiolabeled ligand for use with this product.
