Recombinant Rat Eotaxin/CCL11
CCL11 encoded by the gene CCL11is belonging to the CC chemokine family. It is a potent eosinophil chemoattractant that was originally purified from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of guinea pigs sensitized by aerosol challenge with ovalbumin. CCL11 is a strong and specific eosinophil chemoattractant in vitro. It can directly chemotactic for eosinophils, but not for monocytes or neutrophils. CCR3 has been identified to be a specific CCL11 receptor. CCR3 has also been shown to serve as a cofactor for a restricted subset of primary HIV viruses and binding of CCL11 to CCR3 inhibited infection by the HIV isolates.
