Mouse CD83 is a 30‑35 kDa member of the Siglec (or sialic-acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin) family of transmembrane proteins (1, 2, 3). CD83 is synthesized as a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that contains a 114 amino acid (aa) extracellular region, a 22 aa transmembrane segment, and a 39 aa cytoplasmic domain. It contains one V type Ig-like domain in the extracellular region with no inhibitory cytoplasmic motif(s). In the extracellular region, mouse and human CD83 are 66% aa identical (1, 2, 4). Relative to mouse, human CD83 has an 11 aa insertion in its extracellular domain and is expressed as a 45‑55 kDa protein (1, 4, 5, 6). No alternate splice variants have been reported for mouse. In human, however, one soluble splice form has been reported and proteolytic processing is suggested to generate a second circulating isoform (6, 7). Notably, although soluble CD83 has the potential to exist as either a monomer or disulfide-linked dimer, both show immunosuppressive activity (4, 8, 9). Membrane CD83, by contrast, is immunostimulatory (10). CD83 is a primary marker for dendritic cells (3, 5, 6). It is also found on B cells (6, 11), neutrophils (12), monocytes and macrophages (13). Except for dendritic cells, CD83 expression is often transient. CD83 binds to sialic acids on monocytes (3). The function of CD83 is only now becoming clear. As noted, membrane-immobilized CD83 appears to promote T cell proliferation, particularly of CD8+ cytotoxic T cells (14). On monocytes, CD83 may also drive monocytes into a fibrocyte phenotype (14). And a lack of membrane-expressed CD83 leads to an unusual IL-4/IL-10 producing CD4+ T cell phenotype (15).

CD83 in Mouse Splenocytes.
CD83 was detected in immersion fixed mouse splenocytes using 10 µg/mL Goat Anti-Mouse CD83 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1437) for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained with the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL001) and counterstained with DAPI (blue).

Dilution: 1:500. AGR with Tris/EDTA pH 9.0 for 10min. Serum blocking with normal rabbit serum (5% for 1hour). anti-CD83 incubation for 16h at 4°C overnight. Secondary antibody: rabbit anti goat IgG Biotin. DAB. Image from a verified customer review.Detection of CD83 by Western Blot
Analyses of CD83 deficient murine Mφ. Mφ were generated from CD83wt or CD83 cKO mice and subsequently stimulated with IFN-gamma or IL-4 for 16h or left untreated. (A)Cd83 expression levels were determined by qPCR and normalized to CD83wt BMDMs (n = 10). (B) Assessment of CD83 expression levels by flow cytometry (n = 20). (C) Assessment of knock-out efficiency in whole cell lysates from mock-, IFN-gamma or IL-4 stimulated Mφ by Western blotting. beta -actin served as a loading control. See full uncut gels in Supplemental Material (S1)(D) Cell viability assessment using flow cytometry (n = 24). (E) Differentiation efficacy assessing the percentage of F4/80+CD11b+ cells by flow cytometry, representing the Mφ population (n ≥ 24). (F) Expression levels of F4/80 and CD11b within the Mφ population (n ≥ 40). The gating strategy for the Mφ population is depicted in Supplementary Figure 2. Statistical analyses were performed by One-way ANOVA or the appropriate corresponding non-parametric test. Data are represented as mean ± SEM. Experiments were performed at least three times. ***p<0.001; **** p< 0.0001. The absence of asterisks indicates that there is no statistical significance.
