Invitrogen™ CD367 (Clec4A, DCIR) Monoclonal Antibody (9E8), PE, eBioscience™

Description

Description: This 9E8 monoclonal antibody reacts with human CD367, also known as dendritic cell immunoreceptor (DCIR) or Clec4A. This C-type lectin is expressed on monocytes, granulocytes, B cells, and plasmacytoid dendritic cells in peripheral blood. DCIR is also expressed on mature and immature monocyte-derived dendritic cells in vitro. DCIR is not expressed on NK or T cells. With its cytoplasmic ITIM domain, DCIR is an inhibitory receptor that recruits the SHP-1 and SHP-2 phosphatases upon ligand binding. Studies have demonstrated that DCIR plays a role in the interaction between dendritic cells and HIV-1. Applications Reported: This 9E8 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This 9E8 antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by flow cytometric analysis of human peripheral blood cells. This can be used at 5 μL (0.25 μg) per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. Excitation: 488-561 nm; Emission: 578 nm; Laser: Blue Laser, Green Laser, Yellow-Green Laser. Filtration: 0.2 μm post-manufacturing filtered.

This gene encodes a member of the C-type lectin/C-type lectin-like domain (CTL/CTLD) superfamily. Members of this family share a common protein fold and have diverse functions, such as cell adhesion, cell-cell signalling, glycoprotein turnover, and roles in inflammation and immune response. The encoded type 2 transmembrane protein may play a role in inflammatory and immune response. Multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. This gene is closely linked to other CTL/CTLD superfamily members on chromosome 12p13 in the natural killer gene complex region.
