Short Decsription
Creative Biolabs offers HEK293T-Tg(Human CXCR2 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell which CXCR2 receptor stably expressed in HEK293T cells.
Description
HEK293T-Tg(Human CXCR2 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell was engineered to express the receptor human CXCR2 (NM_001557). This cell line can be used to study CXCR2 receptor function, signaling pathways, and potential therapeutic interventions. Dividing-arrest cells are cells that are normally kept under specific culture conditions or treated with agents that prevent cell division from being held in a non-dividing state. This can be achieved through methods such as serum starvation, chemical inhibitors of cell cycle progression, or genetic modification.

Background
CXCR2 (high affinity interleukin-8 receptor B, IL8RB) is a receptor to interleukin- 8, which is a powerful neutrophil chemotactic factor. Binding of IL-8 to the receptor causes activation of neutrophils. This receptor also binds to GRO/MGSA and NAP-2 with high affinity. Some highly potent small molecule antagonists of CXCR2 showed success in blocking in vivo trafficking of neutrophils, suggesting that antagonism of IL-8 at the receptor level is a viable therapeutic strategy in conditions such as pulmonary disease.
