CD186, also known as CXCR6, is a 39 kD, G-protein coupled chemokine receptor, with seven transmembrane-spanning regions. CXCR6 is expressed on activated and memory T cells. Its ligand is the chemokine CXCL16. CXCR6 is involved in the recruitment of cells to inflamed sites and is also a coreceptor for HIV.

Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For flow cytometric staining, the suggested use of this reagent is ≤5 microL per million cells or 5 microL per 100 microL of whole blood. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
