DescriptionThe MG38 monoclonal antibody reacts with human CD205, also known as DEC-205, an integral membrane protein homologous to the macrophage mannose receptor. CD205 is an endocytic dendritic receptor that mediates efficient processing and presentation of antigens on MHC class II productions in vivo. CD205 is highly expressed by dendritic cells (DCs) within the T cell areas of lymphoid tissues, particularly on CD8+ DCs that are believed to play a role in cross-priming. Expression of CD205 is detected with this antibody at high intensity on in vitro derived mature human DCs (mDC) and at intermediate intensity on immature human DCs (iDC). All leukocytes from peripheral blood show a degree of staining with this mAb that can be minimized by using very low concentrations of MG38. Applications ReportedFor research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. The MG38 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications TestedThis MG38 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of in vitro derived human dendritic cells and peripheral blood leukocytes. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.03 μg per 100 μl blood (or per 1 million cells in 100 μl total staining volume). It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest. References
