The mouse monoclonal antibody HD30 recognizes an extracellular epitope of CD205, an approx. 200 kDa C-type lectin transmembrane protein of the MMR (macrophage mannose receptor) family, expressed at high levels on dendritic cells and thymic epithelial cells, and at low levels on lymphocytes, NK cells and monocytes.
Purification
Purified antibody is conjugated with activated allophycocyanin (APC) under optimum conditions and unconjugated antibody and free fluorochrome are removed by size-exclusion chromatography.
Flow cytometry: The reagent is designed for analysis of human blood cells using 10 μL reagent / 100 μL of whole blood or 106 cells in a suspension. The content of a vial (1 ml) is sufficient for 100 tests.
Lymphocyte antigen 75,CD205, also known as DEC-205, is an endocytic receptor of macrophage mannose receptor family. This 205 kDa C-type lectin transmembrane protein mediates adsorptive uptake and its intracellular domain contains coated pit localization sequence and distal acidic motif, which is required for recycling beyond early endosomes through deeper MHC II+ late endosomes and lysosomes. This unique pathway of receptor-mediated uptake proves to be necessary for presentation of antigenic peptides at low doses of ligand. CD205 is responsible for uptake and processing of captured antigens for dendritic cells.,DEC-205, LY75, CLEC13B
