Research Abstract |
Dendritic cells/macrophages play important roles in immune system. A part of these cells is derived from monocytes in blood cells generated by bone marrow. However, dynamics of monocytes isn' t fully clear, because of lack of appropriate markers. We found that SIGNR3, a lectin, is a new and useful marker for identification of monocytes. Using a new antibody to SIGNR3, we studied behavior of monocytes in steady and inflammatory states.
