The CXC chemokine receptor 6 (CXCR6) is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family that is highly expressed in helper T type 1 cells, natural killer cells, cytotoxic T lymphocytes, and various type of cells in tumor microenvironment (TME). CXCR6 has been proposed as a therapeutic target against tumors through regulation of the tumor TME. In this study, we developed specific and sensitive monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for mouse CXCR6 (mCXCR6), which are useful for flow cytometry and Western blotting by N-terminal peptide immunization into rat. The established anti-mCXCR6 mAb, CxMab-1 (rat IgG, kappa), reacted with not only mCXCR6-overexpressed Chinese hamster ovary-K1 (CHO/mCXCR6) but also mCXCR6-endogenously expressed cell lines, such as P388 (mouse lymphoid neoplasm) and J774-1 (mouse macrophage-like) through flow cytometry. Kinetic analyses using flow cytometry indicated that the dissociation constants () of CxMab-1 for CHO/mCXCR6, P388, and J774-1 cells were 1.7 × 10 M, 3.4 × 10 M, and 3.8 × 10 M, respectively. Furthermore, CxMab-1 could detect endogenous mCXCR6 in P388 and J774-1 cells by Western blotting. These results indicated that CxMab-1 is useful for detecting mCXCR6 by flow cytometry and Western blotting, and provides a possibility for targeting CXCR6-expressing cells experiments.
