Mouse Dectin-1 Neutralizing antibody - Monoclonal Rat IgG2a
Anti-mDectin-1-IgG is a monoclonal rat IgG2a antibody against mouse Dectin-1 (mDectin-1).
It recognizes both mDectin-1 isoforms A and B. This antibody was screened for flow cytometry and neutralization activity.
Anti-mDectin- 1-IgG is produced in hybridomas and purified by affinity chromatography with protein G/agarose.

Description
Dectin-1 is a member of the C-type lectin receptor (CLR) family and plays an important role in antifungal innate immunity [1]. In humans and mice, Dectin-1 is alternatively spliced into two major isoforms, a full-length A isoform and a ‘stalkless’ B isoform.
Dectin-1 is expressed on phagocytic cells, including macrophages and neutrophils. Dectin-1 is a specific receptor for β-glucans [2]. β-Glucans are glucose polymers found in the cell walls of fungi, including the yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans.
Upon binding to its ligand, Dectin-1 triggers phagocytosis and signaling through the kinase Syk and the adaptors CARD9-Bcl10-Malt1 leading to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), the activation of NF-kB and the subsequent production of pro-inflammatory cytokines [3, 4].
Dectin-1 signaling has been shown to collaborate with Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) signaling to enhance the responses triggered by each receptor [4, 5].
