Anti-CD370 Antibody (Clone : 8F9)

CD370 / CLEC9A, also known as DNGR1, is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein with extracellular C-type lectin domain and intracellular ITAM-containing domain. Its expression is restricted to BDCA3+ conventional dendritic cells and to a subset of CD14+ CD16- monocytes. CD370 serves as a receptor for ubiquitous preformed acid-labile protein associated ligands that are exposed when the cell membrane is damaged, such as on necrotic cells. Its triggering by these ligands mediates recruitment and activation of the tyrosine kinase Syk and leads to their cross-presentation to the immune system.Specificity : The mouse monoclonal antibody 8F9 recognizes an extracellular epitope of CD370 / CLEC9A (DNGR1), a type II transmembrane protein functioning as an endocytic receptor on BDCA31+ dendritic cells and on a subset of CD14+ CD16- monocytes.
