Immunofluorescence. Flow cytometry: 1/50 - 1/100. Use 10 μL of the suggested working dilution to label 10^6 cells in 100 μL. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user. Further Comments: Clone MR-1 is reported to partially block the functional activity of DC-SIGN (see ref. 2).

Background
CD209 is primarily expressed on a population of immature dendritic cells in peripheral tissues and on immature myeloid monocyte-derived DC's in vitro. CD209 is involved in dendritic cell (DC) migration and the initial interaction between DC's and naive T lymphocytes. CD209 also binds HIV-1 gp120 and plays a key role in the dissemination of HIV-1 by DC's.Synonyms: C-type lectin domain family 4 member L, CLEC4L, DC-SIGN1, DCSIGN, DCSIGN1, Dendritic Cell Marker, Dendritic cell-specific ICAM-3-grabbing non-integrin 1
