Scientific background

GPR84 is an orphan G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) activated by micromolar concentrations of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs). MCFAs that activate GPR84 are usually with carbon chain lengths of 9-14, which couples primarily to a pertussis toxin (PTX)-sensitive G_i/o pathway. The most potent agonists of GPR84 includes decanoic acid, undecanoic acid and lauric acid. GPR84 demonstrates an important role in inflammation, immunity, and cancer^1-3.

GPR84 is predominantly expressed in immune system-related tissues and cells, such as bone marrow, spleen, lung, lymph nodes and brain microglia, T-cells, macrophages and glial cells. Its expression is also detected in adipocytes.

Studies have shown that GPR84 activation in murine macrophage-like cell line results in high levels of LPS-stimulated IL-12 p40 production. In addition, GPR84 knockout mice display increased Th2 cytokine production^1-3.

Scientific Background

Specific Control Product

Isotype controls are primary antibodies that lack specificity to the target, but match the class and type of the primary antibody used in the application. Isotype controls are used as negative controls to help differentiate non-specific background signal from specific antibody signal.

Our Rabbit IgG Isotype Control-FITC (#RIC-001-F), was specifically developed to be used as a negative control in surface staining flow cytometry along our line of rabbit primary surface staining antibodies conjugated to FITC.
