DC-SIGN/CD209 Protein, Rhesus Macaque (HEK293, His)

DC-SIGN/CD209 Protein, is a C-type lectin receptor present on the surface of both macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs), serves as a pivotal pathogen-recognition receptor, playing a crucial role in initiating the primary immune response. It mediates endocytosis and subsequent degradation of pathogens within lysosomal compartments. On DCs, it acts as a high-affinity receptor for ICAM2 and ICAM3, binding to mannose-like carbohydrates. DC-SIGN/CD209 Protein, Rhesus Macaque (HEK293, His) is the recombinant Rhesus Macaque-derived DC-SIGN/CD209 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with N-His labeled tag.

DC-SIGN/CD209 protein, is a C-type lectin receptor present on the surface of both macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs), serves as a pivotal pathogen-recognition receptor, playing a crucial role in initiating the primary immune response. This receptor is implicated in the endocytosis of pathogens, leading to their subsequent degradation within lysosomal compartments. Following this process, DC-SIGN returns to the cell membrane surface, presenting pathogen-derived antigens to resting T-cells through MHC class II proteins, thereby triggering the adaptive immune response. On DCs, it acts as a high-affinity receptor for ICAM2 and ICAM3, binding to mannose-like carbohydrates. Notably, DC-SIGN may function as a DC rolling receptor, facilitating the transendothelial migration of DC precursors from the bloodstream to tissues by interacting with endothelial ICAM2. Furthermore, it appears to modulate DC-induced T-cell proliferation through its binding to ICAM3 on T-cells within the immunological synapse formed between DCs and T-cells^[1][2].

Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized Recombinant Rhesus Macaque DC-SIGN at 2 μg/mL can bind gp120. The ED₅₀ for this effect is 1.092 μg/mL.

  Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Lyophilized powder

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH₂O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Stored at -20°C for 2 years. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
