Follicular DC Marker Antibody (Ki-M9R) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects Follicular DC Marker protein in mouse and rat samples through immunofluorescence (IF) and immunohistochemistry. Anti-Follicular DC Marker antibody (Ki-M9R) is available in non-conjugated format. Dendritic cells (DCs) play a crucial role in the immune system, particularly in processing and presenting antigens to T cells, which is essential for initiating adaptive immune responses. Among various dendritic cell types, Follicular DCs primarily reside in germinal centers of lymphoid follicles, where these cells facilitate B cell selection and maturation. This specific localization is vital for developing effective humoral immunity, as Follicular DCs provide essential signals and support for B cell activation and differentiation. Follicular DCs retain and present antigens over extended periods, which is critical for forming long-lasting immunological memory. Follicular DC Marker antibody (Ki-M9R) serves as an invaluable tool for researchers studying dendritic cell function dynamics and interactions within the immune microenvironment.
