Target Details
- Target: Mouse DNGR1
- Target background: This antibody recognises mouse DNGR-1, also known as CLEC9A, which is a highly specific marker of the CD8a+ and the CD103+ DC subsets, as well as a receptor able to recognise a preformed signal exposed on necrotic cells. DNGR-1 was found to be expressed in mice at high levels by CD8+ DCs and at low levels by plasmacytoid DCs, but not by other hematopoietic cells. DNGR-1 is a novel, highly specific marker of mouse and human DC subsets that can be exploited for CTL cross-priming and tumour therapy. DNGR-1 ligation is required for effective cross-presentation of dead-cell-associated antigen by recruitment and activation of the tyrosine kinase Syk. DNGR-1 recognizes filamentous actin in association with particular actin-binding domains of cytoskeletal proteins, including spectrin, exposed when cell membranes are damaged. This antibody can recognise both the short and long isoform of DNGR-1, which vary in a segment of the stalk region.
