Not available outside of the UK & Ireland.

Application

Monoclonal Anti-DCAL-1 antibody produced in mouse may be used in flow cytometry.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Dendritic cell-associated lectin-1 (DCAL-1) functions as a T-cell co-stimulatory molecule and increases interleukin-4 secretion. The encoded protein is also implicated in the regulation of the immune response.

General description

Monoclonal Anti-DCAL-1 (mouse IgM isotype) is derived from the hybridoma UW50 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice, immunized with a human DCAL-1 fusion protein

Dendritic cell-associated lectin-1 (DCAL-1), also known as C-type lectin-like-1 (CLECL1), is a novel C-type lectin-like molecule, encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 12p13.31. The encoded protein is exclusively expressed in human hematopoietic cells, in particular at high levels in dendritic cells (DCs) and B cells.

Immunogen

human DCAL-1 fusion protein.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

Specificity

Monoclonal Anti-DCAL-1 recognizes human DCAL-1.

Storage and Stability

For continuous use, store at 2-8°C for up to one month. For extended storage, freeze at -20°C in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing,or storage in “frost-free” freezers,is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilution samples should be discarded if not used within 12 hours.
