Abstract
CD83 is expressed on mature dendritic cells (DCs) and many immune cells, including B and T lymphocytes upon activation. CD83 is essential for the development of CD4 single positive T cells and involved in the regulation of peripheral T and B cell responses. Here we generated a new monoclonal antibody against human CD83, which we named ELBE-1. ELBE-1 recognizes a linear epitope and cannot only be applied for Western blot analysis and flow cytometry, but also detects soluble CD83 (sCD83) by ELISA. As with other anti-CD83 antibodies described thus far, ELBE-1 does not influence T cell activation. Nevertheless, it represents a useful new tool for the detection and functional characterization of CD83.
