DC-SIGN Antibody for Western Blot products provide researchers with antibodies validated for detection of DC-SIGN, also known as CD209, by Western blot. DC-SIGN is a type II transmembrane C-type lectin receptor encoded by the CD209 gene. It is expressed prominently by subsets of dendritic cells and macrophages and participates in cell adhesion, immune recognition and interactions between antigen-presenting cells and pathogens.
DC-SIGN contains an intracellular N-terminal region, a transmembrane domain, an extracellular neck region and a C-terminal carbohydrate recognition domain. The receptor recognizes mannose- and fucose-containing glycans on endogenous proteins as well as glycan structures displayed by numerous microorganisms. Through these carbohydrate-dependent interactions, DC-SIGN contributes to pathogen recognition and modulation of innate and adaptive immune responses. CD209 can also interact with cellular ligands including ICAM proteins, linking the receptor to dendritic cell adhesion and immune-cell communication.
Western blot analysis provides a useful approach for examining DC-SIGN protein expression in cell and tissue lysates. The human CD209 polypeptide has a calculated molecular weight of approximately 46 kDa, although DC-SIGN is glycosylated and can migrate at a higher or somewhat heterogeneous apparent molecular weight by SDS-PAGE. Researchers should therefore consider both the predicted protein mass and the established post-translational processing of the receptor when interpreting DC-SIGN Western blot results.
NSJ Bioreagents offers multiple DC-SIGN Antibody for Western Blot options, including monoclonal, recombinant monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies validated using human cells and tissues. Available Western blot data include detection in samples such as intestine, lung and liver, providing researchers with experimental evidence to help select an antibody appropriate for their study. Individual product pages provide antibody-specific validation images, sample information and recommended testing conditions.
Selection of a CD209 antibody for Western blot should consider factors including antibody format, clone, species reactivity, sample type and observed banding pattern. Recombinant monoclonal antibodies can provide a sequence-defined reagent for studies requiring consistent long-term antibody production, while conventional monoclonal and polyclonal reagents provide additional options for different experimental requirements. Reviewing WB validation from biologically relevant samples can help researchers identify the most appropriate reagent for their experimental system.
Beyond its value as an immune-cell marker, DC-SIGN is widely studied in dendritic cell biology, innate immunity, infectious disease and host-pathogen interactions. Its ability to recognize diverse glycan-containing ligands has made CD209 particularly important for investigating mechanisms through which pathogens interact with antigen-presenting cells and influence immune responses. A DC-SIGN Antibody for Western Blot enables researchers to examine expression of this C-type lectin receptor while complementing studies using immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence and other antibody-based methods.
For broader research on CD209 expression, dendritic cell biology and pathogen recognition, see our DC-SIGN Antibody / Dendritic Cell Marker Antibody page.
Optimal dilution of the DC-SIGN Antibody for Western Blot should be determined by the researcher.
1. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
Recombinant human protein was used as the immunogen for the DC-SIGN antibody.
Store the DC-SIGN antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
