| Background | The monoclonal antibody 15-2 recognizes the mannose receptor (MR) , also known as CD206, a member of the vertebrate C-type lectin family. The mannose receptor, is a pattern recognition receptor that is involved in both innate and adaptive immunity. The 175 kDa single-pass type I transmembrane receptor consists of 5 domains: an amino-terminal cysteine-rich region, a fibronectin type II repeat, a series of eight tandem lectin-like carbohydrate recognition domains (responsible for the recognition of mannose and fucose) , a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular carboxy-terminal tail. The structure is shared by the family of multi lectin mannose receptors: the phospholipase A2-receptor, DEC 205 and the novel C-type lectin receptor (mannose receptor X). The MR binds high-mannose structures on-a wide range of gram positive and gram negative bacteria, yeasts, parasites and mycobacteria. The MR has also been shown to bind and internalize tissue-type plasminogen activator. MR s are present on monocytes and dendritic cells (DC) and are presumed to play a role in innate and adaptive immunity, the latter via processing by DC. The expression of MR as observed in immunohistology is present on tissue macrophages, dendritic cells, a subpopulation of endothelial cells, Kupffer cells and sperm cells. The expression of MR on monocytes increases during culture and can be enhanced by cytokines as IFN-gamma. Labeling of MR expressing monocytes/macrophages increases with prolonged incubation time probably due to internalization of the MR-antibody-complex. The monoclonal antibody 15-2 prevents binding of glycoproteins including t-PA to MR. Detection of the MR with anti-MR monoclonal antibody 15-2 can substitute staining for mannose containing probes as labeled mannosylated BSA, a technique which is more cumbersome and less specific. |
