MGL is found on murine mature macrophages in the connective tissue neighboring epithelia of e.g. salivary glands, capsule of lymph nodes, thymus and various other organs. MGL is present on the surface of connective tissue macrophages and their precursor cells in bone marrow. Also, MGL is expressed in macrophage cell lines (e.g. J774-1.6, RAW309Cr.1 and WR19M.1). Expression levels of MGL are increased in mature macrophages. The antigen is co expressed with the antigen recognized by monoclonal antibody F0005-51.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry, Immunohistochemistry and studies on inhibition of biological activity of the mouse macrophage galactose-specific lectin (MGL). Other applications not tested
