CD207 (Langerin) Antibody, anti-human, APC, REAfinity™

01MT06421

Clone REA770 recognizes the CD207 antigen, a 40 kDa glycosylated type II transmembrane C-type lectin receptor, and the standard marker for human and murine Langerhans cells (LCs). LCs are a subset of dendritic cells (DCs) that reside in epithelia; the best studied example of these antigen-presenting cells are LCs of the epidermis. CD207 is directly involved in antigen capture as well as endocytosis and induces the formation of typical Birbeck granules in immature DCs.Additional information: Clone REA770 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors.
