This product recognizes murine CD301, a 38 kD cell surface protein that is otherwise known as macrophage galactose N-acetylgalactosamine lectin (MGL) or dendritic cell asialoglycoprotein (DC-ASGPR).
In mice, CD301 is predominantly expressed on mature macrophages found associated with a wide range of connective tissues including macrophages in the dermis and the pancreas. This product also detects a population of dendritic cells in lymphoid tissue, which are probably recent immigrants from peripheral connective tissue sites. Expression of CD301 is induced by alternative (i.e. IL-4/IL-13 mediated) activation of macrophages and dendritic cells, but not all CD301 positive cells are necessarily IL-4/IL-13 stimulated.
This product is reported to block the function of mouse CD301. The antibody binds both MGL1 and MGL2 homologues.
Store at +4 °C or at -20 °C if preferred.
This product should be stored undiluted.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody.
If stored in this manner, this product is stable for 18 months after receipt.
