  • Polynucleotides encoding chimeric chemokine receptors
    Patent number: 7259000
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a chimeric chemokine receptor comprising two components: a first sequence comprising the N terminus through the last residue of the seven helix TM region of a first chemokine receptor joined with a second sequence comprising the C terminus of a second chemokine receptor extending from the first intracellular residue of the chemokine receptor to the last residue of the chemokine receptor. The chimeric chemokine receptor can be employed in various applications, such as ligand binding and screening assays and signalling assays. The chimeric chemokine receptor can also form a component of a chemokine receptor modulator design program.
