General description

DC-SIGN is a type II protein C-type lectin that binds mannose-rich molecules such as ICAM-3 and ICAM-2 in a calcium dependent manner. DC-SIGN, a 44 kDa molecule, is identical to the HIV-1 binding protein.

Specificity

Recognizes human DC-SIGN on transfected cells and on monocyte derived dentritic cells. The antibody does not react with either parental mouse cells or irrelevant transfectants, such as human DC-SIGN2.

Immunogen

purified from NIH/3T3 cells transfected with recombinant human DC-SIGN.

Application

Monoclonal Anti-DC-SIGN1 antibody produced in mouse is suitable for flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry at a working concentration of 8-25 μg/mL, immunohistochemistry at 8-25 μg/mL using fixed cells and tissue sections and western blotting at 1 μg/mL.

Biochem/physiol Actions

DC-SIGN1 is involved in molecular interactions between dendritic cells and resting T-cells. DC-SIGN interacts with viruses such as X4, R5, X4R5 HIV-1 strains, HIV-2, and SIV. It captures HIV-1 through its interaction with the gp120 envelope glycoprotein and promotes efficient infection of CD4+ T cells that co-express chemokine receptors.

Physical form

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in phosphate buffered saline with 5% trehalose.

Dendritic cells (DCs) efficiently bind and transmit human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to cocultured T cells and so may play an important role in HIV transmission. DC-SIGN, a novel C-type lectin that is expressed in DCs, has recently been shown to

Contact between dendritic cells (DC) and resting T cells is essential to initiate a primary immune response. Here, we demonstrate that ICAM-3 expressed by resting T cells is important in this first contact with DC. We discovered that instead of

Dendritic cells (DC) capture microorganisms that enter peripheral mucosal tissues and then migrate to secondary lymphoid organs, where they present these in antigenic form to resting T cells and thus initiate adaptive immune responses. Here, we describe the properties of

Dendritic cells (DCs) are recruited from blood into tissues to patrol for foreign antigens. After antigen uptake and processing, DCs migrate to the secondary lymphoid organs to initiate immune responses. We now show that DC-SIGN, a DC-specific C-type lectin, supports

The binding of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) envelope glycoprotein gp120 to the cell surface receptor CD4 has been considered a primary determinant of viral tropism. A number of cell types, however, can be infected by the virus, or bind
