Product details:
Human Mannose Receptor ELISA Kit (ab277420) is an
in-vitro
enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of Human Mannose Receptor in serum, plasma and cell culture supernatants.
This assay employs an antibody specific for Human Mannose Receptor coated on a 96-well plate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and Human Mannose Receptor present in a sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody. The wells are washed, and biotinylated anti-Human Mannose Receptor antibody is added. After washing away unbound biotinylated antibody, HRP-conjugated streptavidin is pipetted to the wells. The wells are again washed, a TMB substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of Human Mannose Receptor bound. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm.

The Mannose Receptor also known as CD206 or MRC1 is a type of C-type lectin receptor with a molecular weight of 175 kDa. It is expressed on the surface of macrophages and dendritic cells. This receptor binds to complex carbohydrates like mannose and fucose found on pathogen surfaces playing an important role in their recognition. Mannose Receptors act as endocytic receptors aiding in the internalization and degradation of pathogens.
Biological function summary
The Mannose Receptor functions in pathogen recognition and clearance by binding to specific carbohydrates on the pathogen's surface. It is not part of a larger molecular complex but works independently to facilitate phagocytosis. The receptor is essential in immune responses allowing macrophages and dendritic cells to efficiently capture and process antigens for presentation to T cells. This enables the initiation of adaptive immune responses.
Pathways
Researchers know that the Mannose Receptor plays an important role in immune signaling pathways particularly in antigen processing and presentation. It interacts with proteins involved in these pathways including those necessary for the internalization and degradation of bound antigens. Moreover it works alongside scavenger receptors contributing to the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses.
The Mannose Receptor is often linked to pulmonary tuberculosis and certain types of cancer. When macrophages express this receptor it can modulate immune responses against Mycobacterium tuberculosis by aiding in its recognition. In cancer altered expression of CD206 can indicate tumor-associated macrophages which promote tumor growth by suppressing immune responses. These connections highlight the receptor's potential as a diagnostic marker and therapeutic target.
