Cancer cells generally showed moderate immunoreactivity. A few cases of colorectal and gastric cancers were strongly stained. Several cases of squamous cell carcinomas of cervix and lymphomas along with a few cases of glioma and testicular cancers were negative.

BDCA2, CD303, CLECSF11, CLECSF7, DLEC, HECL
Description
C-type lectin domain family 4, member C (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the C-type lectin/C-type lectin-like domain (CTL/CTLD) superfamily. Members of this family share a common protein fold and have diverse functions, such as cell adhesion, cell-cell signalling, glycoprotein turnover, and roles in inflammation and immune response. The encoded type 2 transmembrane protein may play a role in dendritic cell function. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.
