Description
CD244 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is also known as Natural killer cell receptor 2B4 (NKR2B4), or Signaling lymphocytic activation molecule 4 (SLAMF4). CD244 is a member of the CD2 subset of the immunoglobulin superfamily (CD2 IgSF). It is expressed on all natural killer (NK) cells, IL-2-activated NK (LAK) cells, committed progenitors of NK cells, and a subset of T lymphocytes which mediate non-MHC-restricted cytoxicity, including dendritic epidermal T cells. The 2B4 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD244.2, the 2B4 alloantigen which is expressed on C57BL/6 and C58/J mice, but not in most strains tested (A/J, AKR, BALB/c, CBA/J, CBA/N, C3H/He, C57BR, DBA/1, DBA/2, NZB, SJL/J, 129). At least two isoforms of CD244.2 protein, products of alternative splicing of hnRNA, are expressed on IL-2-activated C57BL/6 NK cells. They differ only in their cytoplasmic domains; with 2B4L (150-aa cytoplasmic tail) having inhibitory activity and 2B4S (93-aa tail) being stimulatory. The extracellular domain of CD244 is a ligand for another CD2 IgSF member, CD48. 2B4 antibody activates lytic and secretory functions of IL-2-cultured NK cells and CD244.2+ T cells.
