Description
Mannose Binding Lectin (MBL) also called mannose- or mannan-binding protein (MBP) is a member of the group of Collectins. MBL is an oligomeric lectin that recognizes carbohydrates as mannose and N-acetylglucosamine on pathogens. MBL contains a cysteine rich, a collagen like and a carbohydrate recognition domain. It forms a complex with C1r/C1s like serine proteases designated MASPs that proteolytically cleave C4, C2 and C3. MBL is able to activate the complement pathway independent of the classical and alternative complement activation pathways. The MBL-MASP pathway (better known as the lectin pathway) is antibody and C1q-independent. MBL exhibits complement-dependent antibacterial activity and acts directly as an opsonic and therefore plays an important role in innate immunity. MBL is synthesized by hepatocytes and has been isolated from the liver or serum of several vertebrate species.
Formulation
0.5 ml (100 µg/ml) 0.2 µm filtered biotinylated antibody solution in PBS, containing 0.02% sodium azide and 0.1% bovine serum albumin.
Species
Mouse IgG1
Application
The antibody can be used for Western blotting, flow cytometry and immuno assays.
Use
For flow cytometry and Western blotting dilutions to be used depend on detection system applied. It is recommended that users test the reagent and determine their own optimal dilutions. The typical starting working dilution is 1:10.
Storage and stability
Product should be stored at 4°C. Under recommended storage conditions, product is stable for one year.
