Description: The eB-h209 monoclonal antibody reacts with human CD209, also known as DC-SIGN, a 44 kDa type II transmembrane protein. DC-SIGN contains a C-type lectin binding domain and binds ICAM-3, ICAM-2, and HIV virus. Human dendritic cells preferentially express DC-SIGN. It has been postulated that DC-SIGN serves as a receptor for capture, trafficking, and transmission of HIV to T cells and supports primary immune response. eB-h209 was developed against a C-terminal peptide of human DC-SIGN.
