Invitrogen™ CD370 (Clec9A) Monoclonal Antibody (9A11), PerCP-eFluor™ 710, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Description

This monoclonal antibody 9A11 reacts with human CD370, also known as C-type lectin family member 9A (Clec9A) and DNGR1. This type II transmembrane glycoprotein is present at the cell surface in the form of a homodimer. CD370 is a cellular receptor expressed by myeloid cells that recognizes F-actin, a dead cell-associated antigen that is exposed in necrotic cells. Upon ligation, CD370 recruits Syk kinase to the ITAM-like motif in its intracellular tail and facilitates endocytosis of antigenic material that is subsequently processed and cross-presented to CD8+ T cells. Human CD370 is expressed by CD141+ (BDCA3+) dendritic cells and, to a lesser degree, by CD14+ CD16- monocytes. Unlike in mice, human plasmacytoid dendritic cells do not express CD370. This 9A11 antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal human peripheral blood cells. This can be used at 5 μL (0.06 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. PerCP-eFluor™ 710 emits at 710 nm and is excited with the blue laser (488 nm); it can be used in place of PerCP-Cyanine5.5. We recommend using a 710/50 bandpass filter, however, the 695/40 bandpass filter is an acceptable alternative. Please make sure that your instrument is capable of detecting this fluorochrome.

CLEC9A is a group V C-type lectin-like receptor (CTLR) that functions as an activation receptor and is expressed on myeloid lineage cells.
