Abstract:C‐type lectins (CLEC) comprise a superfamily of cell surface proteins, whose multifunctional capacity has been shown to address both, innate and adaptive immune response. Here, we describe mDCAR1 a novel CLEC belonging to the recently defined murine dendritic cell (DC) immuno‐receptor (mDCIR)/DC immuno‐activating receptor (mDCAR) family.mDCAR1 expression was found to be restricted to mononuclear phagocytes in bone marrow. Extensive phenotypical characterization defined them as CCR2−CD62L−CX3CR1+Ly6C− cells, th… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
