Abstract

Cloning of the Human C5a Anaphylatoxin Receptor, and More.

Highlights

  • Specialty section: This article was submitted to Chemoattractants, a section of the journal Frontiers in Immunology

  • Feltner and colleagues demonstrated that the FMLP, C5a, and LTB4 activities on rabbit neutrophils could be inhibited by pertussis toxin, indicating coupling to GTP binding proteins [3]

  • In order to enrich in C5a receptors, we took advantage of the fact that the receptors were induced by cyclic-AMP in U937 cells, and in retinoic acid differentiated human HL60 cells

Summary

Introduction

Specialty section: This article was submitted to Chemoattractants, a section of the journal Frontiers in Immunology. Cloning of the human C5a anaphylatoxin receptor, and more. In the mid1986, a groundbreaking paper published in Nature announced the cloning of the beta-adrenergic receptor, and for the first time established seven transmembrane (7TM) G protein-coupled receptors as members of the rhodopsin superfamily [2].
