CD314 (NKG2D) Monoclonal Antibody (5C6), eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Supplier:  Invitrogen 14587982

Catalog No. 50-132-57

Description

Description: The 5C6 monoclonal antibody reacts with the human NKG2D, a 42 kDa lectin-like molecule expressed by NK cells, gammadelta T cells, some CD4^+ and CD8^+ T cells. Human NKG2D forms complexes with DAP10, a membrane adaptor protein, and has the ability to costimulate multiple NK activation receptors. The counter-receptor for human NKG2D has been identified as MICA/MICB expressed on epithelial tumors from lung, breast, kidney, ovary, prostate and colon carcinoma. 5C6 and 1D11 block binding of soluble MICA to gammadelta TCR T cell clones and inhibit lysis by these cells. 5C6 and 1D11 induced NKG2D function of redirected lysis of FcReceptor bearing P815 cells. Applications Reported: The 5C6 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis, immunoprecipitation, and immunohistochemical staining. It has also been reported in inhibition of ligand binding in in vitro assays. Please use Functional Grade purified 5C6, cat. 16-5879, in functional assays.). Applications Tested: The 5C6 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal human peripheral blood cells. This can be used at less than or equal to 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.

Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes that can mediate lysis of certain tumor cells and virus-infected cells without previous activation. NK cells can regulate specific humoral and cell-mediated immunity, and preferentially express several calcium-dependent (C-type) lectins, which have been implicated in the regulation of NK cell function. The NK gene encodes a member of the NKG2 family, and the encoded transmembrane protein is characterized by a type II membrane orientation (extracellular C terminus) and the presence of a C-type lectin domain. The NKG2 gene family is located within the NK complex, a region that contains several C-type lectin genes preferentially expressed in NK cells.
