| Derivation |
Animals were immunized with a synthetic peptide corresponding to the first 37 N-terminal amino acids of CXCR3.
Spleen cells were fused with Sp2/0 myeloma cells. The antibody recognizes surface expressed CXCR3, as judged by staining of CXCR3 transfected cells, but not untransfected cells. The antibody also stained human T cells and T cell clones that had been activated in vitro with PHA or anti-CD3. However, the anti-CXCR3 antibody did not react with neutrophils. The CXCR3 receptor is also known as the IP-10 receptor and the Mig receptor. |

| Subculturing |
Protocol: Cultures can be maintained by the addition of fresh medium or replacement of medium. Alternatively, cultures can be established by centrifugation with subsequent resuspension at 1 X 10(5) viable cells/ml.
Maintain cell density between 1 X 10(5) and 1 X 10(6) viable cells/ml. Do not allow the cell density to exceed 1 X 10(6) cells/ml.
Medium Renewal: Add fresh medium every 2 to 3 days (depending on cell density) |
