Description: Serum endocuclease secreted into body fluids by a wide variety of exocrine and endocrine organs. Expressed by non-hematopoietic tissues and preferentially cleaves protein-free DNA (By similarity). Among other functions, seems to be involved in cell death by apoptosis. Binds specifically to G-actin and blocks actin polymerization. Together with DNASE1L3, plays a key role in degrading neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) (By similarity). NETs are mainly composed of DNA fibers and are released by neutrophils to bind pathogens during inflammation (By similarity). Degradation of intravascular NETs by DNASE1 and DNASE1L3 is required to prevent formation of clots that obstruct blood vessels and cause organ damage following inflammation (By similarity).

Description: The dendritic cell lysosomal-associated membrane protein (DC-LAMP)/CD208 is a type I integral transmembrane glycoprotein mostly homologous to CD68, of about 45 kDa in mouse and 90 kDa in human (glycosylation), with a bipartite C-terminal structure divided by a serine/proline rich region, a transmembrane domain and a conserved tyrosine-based lysosomal targeting motif in its cytoplasmic tail. Initially cloned as a specific marker of human mature dendritic cells (DCs), DC-LAMP has been subsequently shown to be expressed in alveolar type II pneumocytes. In both cell types, the molecule is found in the limiting membrane of intracellular multi-lamellar bodies, known as MIIC (MHC class II compartments) in human mature DCs and as lung surfactant-containing lamellar bodies in type II pneumocytes. In the latter cell type, DC-LAMP expression is also detected at the cell surface.

Description: IL3 exerts its biologic activity through its interaction with a cell surface receptor that consists of two subunits. The a subunit (CD123) specifically binds IL3, whereas the ß subunit is required for signaling and is common to the GMCSFR and IL5-R. 107D2.08 and 106C2.02 mAbs were obtained after mouse immunization with sorted human tonsillar PDC. Both clones strongly stain PDCs and basophils, weakly stain monocytes, CD34+ derived DCs and CD11c+ DC, while no staining is observed on T, B, NK cells as well as on mono-derived DCs. Staining with 107D2.08 and 106C2.02 mAbs are maintained on sorted PDC cultured in the presence of IL3 and CD40L, but lost when IL3 alone is added to the culture. The recognition of the IL3Ra chain by 107D2.08 and 106C2.02 was confirmed by transfection studies. 107D2.08 appeared to be the most appropriate clone for in situ studies. 107D2.08 allowed the first observation of IL3Ra+ cells in breast tumor microenvironment

Description: Langerin/CD207 is a transmembrane C-type lectin receptor (CLR) of epidermal and mucosal Langerhans cells (LCs) that induces Birbeck's granule formation. Langerin features a single carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) with mannose-type specificity in its extracellular portion. Langerin is unique among the CLRs in that it contains an intracellular domain with a proline-rich motif. Langerin expression has not been reported outside the DC system.
