Invitrogen™ CD161 Monoclonal Antibody (HP-3G10), PE-eFluor™ 610, eBioscience™

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

This HP-3G10 monoclonal antibody reacts with CD161 (also known as NKR-P1A), a member of the C-type lectin superfamily. The human homologue of NK1.1 in C57BL/6 mice, CD161 is expressed on natural killer cells and is upregulated in response to IL-12. CD161 can also be detected on various T cell subsets, including memory/effector CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, gamma delta TCR T cells, and a subset of CD3+ thymocytes. Finally, CD161 expression has been demonstrated on human Th17 CD4+ T cells. The function of this receptor is unclear although studies suggest a possible stimulatory role. Nevertheless, Lectin-like transcript-1 (LLT1), which is also known as osteoclast inhibitory lectin, has been identified as the ligand for CD161. Applications Reported: This HP-3G10 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This HP-3G10 antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal human peripheral blood cells. This can be used at 5 μL (0.5 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. PE-eFluor 610 can be excited with laser lines from 488-561 nm and emits at 607 nm. We recommend using a 610/20 band pass filter (equivalent to PE-Texas Red). Please make sure that your instrument is capable of detecting this fluorochome. Light se...
