G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are cell surface receptors that relay extracellular signals to the inside of the cells. C-X-C chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) is a GPCR that undergoes receptor internalization and recycling upon stimulation with its cognate ligand, C-X-C chemokine 12 (CXCL12). Using this receptor/ligand pair we describe the use of two techniques, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and flow cytometry, widely used to quantify GPCR internalization from the plasma membrane and its return to the cell surface by recycling.
G蛋白偶联受体(GPCRs)是细胞表面受体,可将细胞外信号传递至细胞内部。C-X-C趋化因子受体4(CXCR4)是一种GPCR,在受到其同源配体C-X-C趋化因子12(CXCL12)刺激后会发生受体内化和再循环。利用这一受体/配体对,我们描述了两种技术的应用,即酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)和流式细胞术,这两种技术广泛用于量化质膜上GPCR的内化及其通过再循环返回细胞表面的过程。
