Multicolor flow cytometric analysis of CD301a/b (MGL1/2) expression on mouse spleen or bone marrow-derived dendritic cells. Mouse splenocytes (Left Plots) and bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DCs) (Right Plots) from C57BL/6 mice were preincubated with Purified Rat Anti-Mouse CD16/CD32 antibody (Mouse BD Fc Block™) (Cat. No. 553141/553142). The cells were then stained with APC Hamster Anti-Mouse CD11c antibody (Cat. No. 550261) and either PE Rat IgG2a, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 553930; Top Plots) or PE Rat Anti-Mouse CD301a/b (MGL1/2) antibody (Cat. No. 567050/567051; Bottom Plots) at 1 μg/test. Spleen cells were also stained with FITC Hamster Anti-Mouse CD3 (Cat. No. 553062) and FITC Rat Anti-Mouse CD19 (Cat. No. 553785) antibodies. Bivariate pseudocolor density plots showing the correlated expression of CD301a/b (MGL1/2) [or Ig Isotype control staining] versus CD11c were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable (CD3- and CD19-) splenocytes or bone marrow-derived DCs. Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using a BD LSRFortessa™ Cell Analyzer System and FlowJo™ software. Data shown on this Technical Data Sheet are not lot specific.

Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
BD™ CompBeads can be used as surrogates to assess fluorescence spillover (Compensation). When fluorochrome conjugated antibodies are bound to CompBeads, they have spectral properties very similar to cells. However, for some fluorochromes there can be small differences in spectral emissions compared to cells, resulting in spillover values that differ when compared to biological controls. It is strongly recommended that when using a reagent for the first time, users compare the spillover on cell and CompBead to ensure that BD Comp beads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.
Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.

The ER-MP23 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes the extracellular domains of the mouse CD301a and CD301b homologs. CD301a is also known as macrophage galactose-type C-type lectin 1 (MGL1) which is encoded by Clec10a (C-type lectin domain family 10 member A). CD301b is likewise known as macrophage galactose-type C-type lectin 2 (MGL2) and is encoded by Mgl2 (Macrophage galactose N-acetyl-galactosamine specific lectin 2). Mouse CD301a and CD301b are ~42 kDa type II transmembrane glycoproteins that are each comprised of an extracellular region with a carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) followed by a transmembrane region and a cytoplasmic tail. CD301a is expressed on a subset of macrophages, conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) whereas CD301b is expressed on cDCs and immature DCs. CD301a binds selectively to molecules that contain Lewis X or Lewis A structures. CD301b recognizes molecules having galactose and N-actetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) residues. Both receptors are involved in the recognition and endocytosis of glycoproteins and play roles in tissue remodeling, clearance of apoptotic cells, and defense against tumor cells. The ER-MP23 antibody can reportedly inhibit the binding of carbohydrate ligands to CD301a and CD301b.
