Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Supplier:  Invitrogen™ 14205937

Catalog No. 14-205-937

Description

The MG38 MAb reacts with human CD205, also known as DEC-205, an integral membrane protein homologous to the macrophage mannose receptor. CD205 is an endocytic dendritic receptor that mediates efficient processing and presentation of antigens on MHC class II productions in vivo. CD205 is highly expressed by dendritic cells (DCs) within the T cell areas of lymphoid tissues, particularly on CD8^+ DCs that are believed to play a role in cross-priming. Expression of CD205 is detected with this antibody at high intensity on in vitro derived mature human DCs (mDC) and at intermediate intensity on immature human DCs (iDC). All leukocytes from peripheral blood show a degree of staining with this mAb that can be minimized by using very low concentrations of MG38.

CD205 (LY25, Lymphocyte Antigen 75) is an integral membrane glycoprotein involved in antigen uptake, trafficking and presentation that improves the induction of antigen-specific T cell immunity. CD205 is highly expressed by CD8+ dendritic cells (DCs) and also expressed at different levels by bone marrow Gr1+ cells, Langerhans cells, (BMDC) bone marrow derived DCs and thymic epithelial cells. CD205 acts as an endocytic receptor that directs captured antigens to the extracellular space towards a specialized antigen processing region. Further, CD205 also prompts the reduced proliferation of B lymphocytes. Diseases associated with CD205 dysfunction include pneumonic plague and lipid pneumonia.
