Invitrogen™ CD200R Recombinant Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (019)

Description

This product is preservative free. It is recommended to add sodium azide to avoid contamination (final concentration 0.05%-0.1%). Recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibodies are produced using in vitro expression systems. The expression systems are developed by cloning in the specific antibody DNA sequences from immunoreactive rabbits. Then, individual clones are screened to select the best candidates for production. The advantages of using recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibodies include: better specificity and sensitivity, lot-to-lot consistency, animal origin-free formulations, and broader immunoreactivity to diverse targets due to larger rabbit immune repertoire. This antibody has specificity for Mouse CD200R1.

CD200R (OX2R) is a receptor for the OX-2 membrane glycoprotein, and both the receptor and substrate are cell surface glycoproteins containing two immunoglobulin-like domains. CD200R is restricted to the surfaces of myeloid lineage cells and the receptor-substrate interaction may function as a myeloid downregulatory signal. In mouse, CD200R is expressed primarily by peripheral blood monocytes and neutophils but also by other leucocytes including T-lymphocytes and mast cells. Further mouse studies of a gene related to CD200R suggests that the receptor may control myeloid function in a tissue-specific manner. Alternative splicing of CD200R results in multiple transcript variants. Diseases associated with CD200R dysfunction include primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy.
