Specifications

Product Data

• Clone Name: ER-TR9
• Applications: FC, FN, IHC
• Recommended Dilution: Immunohistochemistry on frozen sections (1,2): Tissue sections were fixed in acetone and stained with antibody ER-TR9 using a two-step immunoperoxidase method (Ref.1). The typical starting working dilution is 1:50.
  Flow cytometry (4,5): Stains the extracellular domain of SIGN-R1. Peritoneal cells were pre-incubated with anti-CD16/32 to block FcγR before staining. As a negative control an isotype-matched antibody was used (Ref.6). The typical starting working dilution is 1:50.
  Functional assays (3-6): Antibody ER-TR9 blocked the recognition of zymosan and C. albicans by peritoneal macrophages. An isotype-matched antibody was used as a negative control. The polysaccharide mannan was used as a positive control. (Ref.4).
  Positive control: Peritoneal macrophages of (Ref.4).
  Negative control: Alveolar macrophages (Ref. 4).
• Reactivities: Mouse
• Host: Rat
• Isotype: IgM
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Immunogen: Mouse thymic stromal cells
• Specificity:

  The monoclonal antibody ER-TR9 recognizes murine SIGN-related 1 (SIGN-R1).
  Uptake of FITC-labeled dextran by macrophages can be blocked both in vivo and in vitro by the monoclonal antibody ER-TR9. Therefore, the monoclonal antibody ER-TR9 can be used to study the uptake of polysaccharides by macrophages.

• Background: SIGN-R1, a homolog of human DC-SIGN, is a 37 kDa type II transmembrane protein containing a single, C-terminal C-type lectin domain. SIGN-R1 is a specific marker for the identification of macrophage subpopulations present in the marginal zone of spleen (the so-called marginal zone macrophages (MZM)), in the lymph node medulla, and in the peritoneal cavity of some mouse strains. ER-TR9 does not react with macrophages in other regions of the spleen, such as CD169+ marginal metallophils and F4/80+ red pulp macrophages. In the spleen, the MZM function in trapping and clearance of blood-borne microbial antigens. SIGN-R1 mediates the uptake of encapsulated microbes , particularly through the recognition of microbial polysaccharides.
• Synonyms: DC-SIGN-related protein 1, OtB7
