CD208 Monoclonal / PE / REA295

Product Details
Description Clone REA295 recognizes the CD208 antigen, a single-pass type I intracellular protein also known as lysosome-associated membrane glycoprotein 3 (LAMP-3) or DC-lysosome–associated membrane glycoprotein (DC-LAMP). CD208 was first cloned as a gene specifically expressed in lung tissues and found to be overexpressed in primary cancers of the esophagus, colon, fallopian tube, ovary, breast, and liver, although its expression was barely detectable in the corresponding normal tissues. It is almost exclusively expressed by mature dendritic cells (DCs). Expression can be induced in CD34+ derived dendritic cells by stimulation with GM-CSF and TNF-alpha or in monocytes by the stimulation with GM-CSF and IL-4. CD208 is found in the MHC class II compartment immediately before the translocation of MHC class II molecules to the cell surface, after which it concentrates into perinuclear lysosomes. This suggests that CD208 might change the lysosome function after the transfer of peptide-MHC class II molecules to the surface of DC. | Additional information: Clone REA295 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors. |

About CD208
Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most potent antigen-presenting cells. Immature DCs efficiently capture antigens and differentiate into interdigitating dendritic cells (IDCs) in lymphoid tissues that induce primary T-cell responses (summary by de Saint-Vis et al., 1998 [PubMed 9768752]).[supplied by OMIM, Dec 2010]
About PE
Phycoerythrin (PE, R-PE) is a red-emitting fluorescent protein-chromophore complex that can be excited the 488-nm blue, 532-nm green, or 561-nm yellow-green laser with increasing efficiency and captured with a 586/14 nm bandpass filter. PE has an excitation peak at 565 nm and an emission peak at 578 nm. PE is 240kD in size and has an extinction coefficient of ~2x10^6 which makes it one of the brightest fluorophores available and a potent donor upon which to build tandem fluorophores with longer Stoke's Shifts.
