CD336 (NKp44) Mouse anti-Human, PE, Clone: 44.189, eBioscience™

Description

Description: The monoclonal antibody 44.189 reacts with human CD336, which is also known as NKp44 or NCR2. CD336 is a 44-kDa transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the natural cytotoxicity receptor (NCR) family and contains an ITIM domain located in the cytoplasmic tail. Expression of CD336 and NK cell activation by the receptor requires association with DAP12, an ITAM-containing transmembrane accessory protein. Once thought to be expressed exclusively on IL-2-activated NK cells and a subset of gamma delta T lymphocytes, studies have shown expression of CD336 on IL-3-stimulated plasmacytoid dendritic cells, alpha beta T cells in the small intestinal epithelium, and T cells in cord blood. CD336 has been shown to be involved in the innate response of activated NK cells against viral infection and tumor cell proliferation. The 44.189 antibody has been reported to facilitate CD336 crosslinking. Applications Reported: This 44.189 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This 44.189 antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by flow cytometric analysis of stimulated normal human peripheral blood cells. This can be used at 5 µL (0.125 µg) per test. A test is defined as the amount (µg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 µL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test.

Excitation: 488-561 nm; Emission: 578 nm; Laser: Blue Laser, Green Laser, Yellow-Green Laser. Filtration: 0.2 μm post-manufacturing filtered. CD336 is also known as NKp44 or NCR2.
