Dectin-1 antibody | GE2
Mouse anti Human Dectin-1 antibody, clone GE2 used in functional assays to assess bllocking activity for binding of A. fumigatus hyphae to human plasmacytoid dendritic cells.
Image caption:
A. fumigatus hyphae are recognized by the mannose receptor, Dectin-2, on pDCs. Human pDCs were purified from PBMCs fractions using CD304-coated magnetic beads. (A) pDCs were treated with no inhibitors, dextran (1 mg/mL), mannan (1 mg/mL), laminarin (0.5 mg/mL) or mannan and laminarin for 30 minutes. The pDCs (5×104) were then incubated for 2 hr with A. fumigatus hyphae (5×104). The cell association was quantified by counting number of pDCs associated (touching or spreading over) with hyphae in 10 different fields. The percent cell association was calculated by dividing the number of pDC associated with hyphae by the total number of pDC counted and then multiplying by 100. (B) Same as in A except pDCs were treated with anti-Dectin-1 (100 μg/mL) and anti-Dectin-2 (100 μg/mL) antibodies for 30 minutes prior to incubation with hyphae. Data represent means ± SE of % cell association from three donors. *P<0.05. (C) Representative photomicrographs of pDCs incubated with A. fumigatus hyphae under the conditions described in panel B.

Mouse anti Human dectin-1 antibody, clone GE2(MCA4661EL) used to inhibit dectin-1 action on B lymphocytes in vitro.
Image caption:
Dectin-1 partially mediates IL-1β secretion and requires SYK and the transcriptions factors AP-1 and NF-κB. IL-1β ELISA measured in the cell supernatant of curdlan (Curd) stimulated cells in the presence or absence of 1 mg/ml Laminarin (Lamin) (A), 5 μg/ml anti-dectin-1 antibody (α-Dect1) or 5 μg/ml isotype control (Ms IgG) (B), 40 μM of the SYK inhibitor, piceatannol (pice) and 5 μM of the SYK inhibitor, R406 (C), and 10 μM of the NF-κB inhibitor, Bay11, and 10 μM of the AP-1 inhibitor, SR11 (D). Data are representative of at least three donors in each independent experiments (n = 3). *p <0.05, ***p <0.0001.

| Mouse anti Human Dectin-1 antibody, clone GE2 recognizes human Dectin-1, also known as beta-glucan receptor (βGR), a C-type lectin domain family member. It is a major pathogen pattern-recognition receptor that binds beta-glucans, glucose polymers that form cell-wall components or exopolymers of yeasts, fungi and some bacteria. Beta-glucans have also been used experimentally and therapeutically as immunomodulators that enhance resistance to bacterial, yeast, viral and protozoan infections, as well as tumor formation. Dectin-1 also acts as a co-stimulatory molecule on T-cells to induce their proliferation and is necessary for the TLR2-mediated inflammatory response. It is highly expressed on peripheral blood leukocytes and dendritic cells. Human Dectin-1 has two major (βGR-A and βGR-B) and several minor isoforms. βGR-A and βGR-B differ by the presence and absence, respectively, of a stalk region. Mouse anti Human Dectin-1 antibody, clone GE2 recognizes both major isoforms. Clone GE2 could be used to inhibit receptor function. |
