Background Information


Human CCR4 (C-C chemokine receptor 4) is a G protein–coupled receptor primarily expressed on subsets of T lymphocytes, including Th2 cells and regulatory T cells (Tregs). It plays a key role in directing immune cell trafficking to sites of inflammation, particularly in skin and mucosal tissues. CCR4 contributes to immune surveillance and regulation by guiding lymphocyte migration in response to chemokine gradients.


Structurally, CCR4 is a seven-transmembrane domain receptor typical of the GPCR family, with an extracellular N-terminus involved in ligand binding and an intracellular C-terminus that mediates signal transduction through G proteins. Upon ligand binding, CCR4 activates downstream signaling pathways that regulate cytoskeletal rearrangement, cell migration, and survival.


The principal ligands for CCR4 are the chemokines CCL17 (TARC) and CCL22 (MDC), which are produced by dendritic cells, macrophages, and epithelial cells. These interactions promote recruitment of CCR4-expressing T cells to inflamed tissues.


In disease, CCR4 is implicated in allergic conditions, autoimmune disorders, and cancer. It is highly expressed in certain T-cell malignancies, such as adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), where it supports tumor cell migration and immune evasion. Therapeutically, CCR4 is a validated target, with monoclonal antibodies like mogamulizumab used to deplete CCR4-positive malignant and regulatory T cells, enhancing anti-tumor immunity.

Frequently Asked Questions


How do I determine the optimal antibody concentration/titer for my experiment?
We recommend titrating each new antibody lot on your own cell type and instrument, since optimal concentration depends on cell density, target expression level, and cytometer sensitivity. Suggested starting dilutions or test sizes (e.g., µg or µl per 10^6 cells) are provided on the product page as a starting reference point, not a fixed requirement.

Can these antibodies be used for intracellular or intranuclear staining, or only surface staining?
Intended use (surface, intracellular, or both) is specified per product, indicated under Application. The appropriate Related Protocol is linked for each product. If you need to detect both surface and intracellular markers in the same panel, confirm each antibody's compatibility with your fixation/permeabilization protocol before combining them.

What controls should I use alongside these antibodies?
Matched isotype controls (same host species, isotype, and conjugate) are available for most clones to help distinguish specific binding from background/non-specific staining and are linked on each product page. Unstained, single-color compensation, and fluorescence-minus-one (FMO) controls are also recommended, especially for multicolor panel design.

Can I combine InnoCyto Flow Cytometry antibodies into a multicolor panel?
Yes — antibodies across our catalog are designed to be panel-compatible, and conjugate options are offered specifically to support multiplexing. When building a panel, pair bright fluorophores with low-expression targets, avoid excessive spectral overlap, and confirm compensation is set up correctly for your specific fluorochrome combination. Use our Panel Builder to simplify the process.
