BD Pharmingen™ Alexa Fluor® 647 Rat anti-Mouse CD197 (CCR7)
Clone 4B12 (RUO)




Flow cytometric analysis of Alexa Fluor® 647 conjugated anti-mouse CCR7. Freshly isolated mouse spleen or thymus cells were stained with Alexa Fluor® 647-conjugated anti-mouse CCR7 (Cat. No. 560766), FITC-conjugated anti-mouse CD4 (Cat. No.553047) and PE-conjugated anti-mouse CD3 (Cat. No.553063). The left and middle dot plots show staining of the splenocytes while the right dot plot shows staining of the thymocytes. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD LSR™ II flow cytometry system and the dot plots were derived from the gated events based on light scattering characteristics of viable splenocytes or thymocytes.

The monoclonal antibody 4B12/CCR7 reacts with the mouse C-C chemokine receptor type 7 (CCR7). CCR7 is also known as CD197 (previously known as EBI1, Ebi1h and CMKBR7) and plays a central role in mediating homeostatic B and T lymphocyte trafficking to and within secondary lymphoid tissues. CD197 is a seven-transmembrane, G-protein-coupled, 43 kDa glycoprotein receptor that is specific for the CC chemokines, MIP3ß/Exodus-3/ELC/CKb11/Scya19/CCL19 and 6Ckine/Exodus-2/SLC/TCA4/CKb9/Scya21/CCL21. The mouse Ccr7 gene is located on chromosome 11. CD197 (CCR7) is differentially expressed by subsets of thymocytes. Positive CD197 expression appears to be involved in the cortex-to-medulla migration of positively-selected thymocytes wherein they complete functional maturation including the establishment of central tolerance. It is most highly expressed by some mature medullary single-positive thymocytes. CD197 is also expressed by subsets of mature peripheral CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes including naïve and regulatory T cells and central memory T cells. In addition, it is differentially expressed by subsets of B lymphocytes, dendritic cells, and Langerhans cells. CD197 serves as a homing receptor that helps guide these various cell types to and within lymphoid tissues. In this way, CCR7 supports protective immunity while safeguarding self tolerance. Reportedly, the 4B12/CCR7 antibody is not agonistic, is not blocked by CCL21 nor by physiologic levels of CCL19, nor does the antibody block the binding of CCL21 to CCR7. The immunogen used to generate the 4B12 hybridoma was a mouse CCR7-transfected rat cell line.
