Additional info: CD200 (also known as OX2 or MRC) is a type-1 membrane glycoprotein, which contains two extracellular immunoglobulin domains, transmembrane domain and cytoplasmic domain. It is expressed by neuronal cells, B and T cell subsets, follicular dendritic cells, keratinocytes, and ovarian cells. The interaction between CD200 and its receptor CD200R results in macrophage activation (IL-6 production), inhibition of mast cell degranulation along with reduced TNF-alpha and IL-13 secretion and overall attenuation of the activation status of lymphocytes. It seems CD200 is also involved in maternal tolerance and its decreased expression in hair follicle correlates with follicular miniaturization.SpecificityThe mouse monoclonal antibody OX-108 recognizes an extracellular epitope on human CD200R, a transmembrane flycoprotein expressed on the surface of myeloid cells.Application detailsFlow cytometry: Recommended dilution: 1-4 μg/ml.
