Description: Langerhans cells (LCs) are a subset of immature dendritic cells (DCs) that specifically localize in the epidermis and other mucosal epithelia. Epidermal LCs possess strong immuno-stimulatory capacity and play a central role in the initiation and regulation of immune responses. Langerin (CD207) is a Ca2+-dependent, C-type lectin domain containing, type II transmembrane protein that induces epidermal LCs to differentiate into Birbeck granules (BG). BGs are organelles with superimposing and zippering membranes that influence proper class I type antigen presentation to the circulating T cells. Human spleen, lymph node, thymus, liver, lung and heart express Langerin protein.
Immunogen: A portion of amino acids 74-213 was used as the immunogen for the recombinant Langerin antibody.
Storage: Aliquot the recombinant Langerin antibody and store frozen at -20 °C or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Localization: Cell surface and cytoplasmic
