This antibody recognises human DC-specific ICAM-3 grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN), a ~45 kDa C-type lectin that binds ICAM-3 also known as CD209. CD209 is primarily expressed on a population of immature dendritic cells in peripheral tissues and on immature myeloid monocyte-derived DC's in vitro.CD209 is involved in dendritic cell (DC) migration and the initial interaction between DC's and naive T lymphocytes. CD209 also binds HIV-1 gp120 and plays a key role in the dissemination of HIV-1 by DC's. Mouse anti Human CD209 antibody, clone MR-1 is reported to partially block the functional activity of DC-SIGN (Melero et al.).
