Human Siglec-14, a member of the Siglec family of sialic acid-binding lectins, shows extensive sequence similarity to human Siglec-5. To analyze respective expression patterns of Siglec-14 and Siglec-5, we developed specific antibodies against each of them. We found that the former was expressed on granulocytes and monocytes, while the latter was on granulocytes and B-cells. Surprisingly, some individuals lacked...
