Additional info: CD203c, also known as ENPP-3, is integral membrane ectoenzyme (ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 3), that hydrolyses nucleotide triphosphates and thus modulates purinergic signaling. CD203c is expressed mainly on activated basophils and mast cells. CD203c is upregulated in response to IgE-receptor cross-linking and is overexpressed on neoplastic mast cells in patients with systemic mastocytosis. Measurement of its induced enhancement on the plasma membrane is useful for diagnostics of allergies.SpecificityThe mouse monoclonal antibody HD30 recognizes an extracellular epitope of CD205, an approx. 200 kDa C-type lectin transmembrane protein of the MMR (macrophage mannose receptor) family, expressed at high levels on dendritic cells and thymic epithelial cells, and at low levels on lymphocytes, NK cells and monocytes.Application detailsFlow cytometry: Recommended dilution: 1-4 μg/ml.
