Description
The 15E2 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD369 which is also known as CLEC7A (C-type lectin domain family 7 member A), Dectin-1 (Dendritic cell-associated C-type lectin 1), or BGR (Beta-glucan receptor). CD369 is a type II transmembrane C-type lectin that contains a C-terminal stalk with a carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) in the extracellular domain, a transmembrane segment, and an ITAM containing cytoplasmic tail. This protein is highly expressed on dendritic cells. It is also expressed on B cells, monocytes, eosinophils, mast cells, macrophages, endothelial cells, and is lowly expressed on some subsets of T cells. CD369 binds to beta-glucan polymers and functions as a pattern recognition receptor in innate immune response to fungal and bacterial pathogens. The 15E2 antibody can reportedly stimulate dendritic cells to costimulate immune responses.
Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 647 under optimum conditions, and unreacted Alexa Fluor® 647 was removed.
1. This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
2. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
3. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
4. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
5. Alexa Fluor® 647 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for allophycocyanin (APC).
6.
