CXCR5 is a receptor protein that is expressed on the surface of certain immune cells, such as B cells and follicular helper T cells. It plays a key role in the migration and positioning of these cells within lymphoid tissues. CXCR5 responds to the chemokine CXCL13, which helps guide these cells to areas where they can interact and participate in immune responses.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
