| Molecular Weight | The recombinant human Fc/DC-SIGN chimera is a disulfide-linked homodimeric protein. The reduced monomer consists of 580 amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 65.8 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, the apparent molecular mass of rh Fc/DC-SIGN is approximately 75 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions. |

| Purity | > 97 % as determined by SDS-PAGE |
| Protein Construction | A DNA sequence encoding the N-terminally truncated extracellular domain (Lys 62-Ala 404) of human DC-SIGN (NP_066978.1) was expressed with the fused Fc region of human IgG1 at the N-terminus. |

| Formulation | Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4 1. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Specific concentrations are included in the hardcopy of COA. |
| Background | Dendritic cell (DC)-specific intercellular adhesion molecule 3 (ICAM-3) grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN), also known as CD209, is a type II transmembrane protein on DCs with a C-type lectin extracellular domain, is capable of binding ICAM-3 on resting T cells in the secondary lymphoid organs, providing the initial contact between these cells during the establishment of cell-mediated immunity. It is not only a pattern recognition receptor but implicated in immunoregulation of DCs. It has important role in mediating DC adhesion, migration, inflammation, activating primary T cell, triggering immune response and participating in immune escape of pathogens and tumors. DC-SIGN also mediates capture and internalization of viral, bacterial, and fungal pathogens by dendritic cells, such as HIV-1, Ebola virus, cytomegalovirus, Dengue virus, and hepatitis C virus. DC-SIGN is unique in that it regulates adhesion processes, such as DC trafficking and T-cell synapse formation, as well as antigen capture. Moreover, even though several C-type lectins have been shown to bind HIV-1, DC-SIGN does not only capture HIV-1 but also protects it in early endosomes allowing HIV-1 transport by DC to lymphoid tissues, where it enhances trans infection of T cells. |
