Mouse Mincle (CLEC4E) Antibody

Mouse IgG2a (clone 6G5) - Recombinant

ABOUT

Recombinant anti-mouse Mincle neutralizing and detection antibody

Anti-mMincle-mIgG2a is a monoclonal antibody (mAb) targeting mouse Mincle. This antibody was screened for neutralization activity and flow cytometry (see figure).

Anti-mMincle-mIgG2a was previously extracted from hybridoma cells (clone 6G5). It is now expressed and produced in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, ensuring reliability and lot-to-lot reproducibility.

This antibody can be used together with HEK-Blue™ mMincle Cells for screening and neutralization assays to block Mincle signaling in response to stimulation by Mincle ligands.

 

Key features

  • Each lot is functionally tested and validated.
  • The complete sequence of the antibody construct has been verified.
  • The absence of endotoxins is determined by the EndotoxDetect™ assay.

 

Macrophage-inducible C-type lectin (Mincle) is a C-type lectin receptor encoded by the C-type lectin domain family 4 member E (CLEC4E) gene. This receptor has emerged as an important player in innate immunity. It recognizes a variety of exogenous and endogenous stimuli, such as mycobacteria, some fungi, and necrotic cells [1, 2].

Details

Mincle is a member of the C-type lectin receptor (CLR) family. Mincle recognizes a variety of exogenous and endogenous stimuli, such as mycobacteria, certain fungi, and necrotic cells [1, 2]. Exogenous ligands for Mincle include fungal α-mannose, and the mycobacterial glycolipid, trehalose-6’6’-dimycolate (TDM), also known as cord factor, the immunostimulatory component of Mycobacterium tuberculosis [3].
Mincle also binds trehalose-6,6-dibehenate (TDB), which is a synthetic analog of TDM. Furthermore, Mincle senses damaged cells by recognizing endogenous damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) [4]. Upon ligand recognition, Mincle interacts with the Fc receptor common γ-chain (FcRγ), which triggers intracellular signaling through Syk, leading to CARD9-dependent NF-κB activation. Syk also induces the mobilization of intracellular calcium (Ca2+) and the activation of the calcineurin-NFAT pathway.
