Description

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

The MAb 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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

I am unable to analyze my cells stained with eFluor Organic Dyes today. What options do I have?

Our options will depend on the samples you are analyzing.

If cell viability is not critical, you can store your stained samples at 4 degrees C or on ice overnight in the dark and analyze the following day.

For samples stained with eFluor organic fluorochromes, we recommend that cells be suspended in 100 uL of Flow Cytometry Staining Buffer (Cat. No. 00-4222) and 100 uL of eBioscience IC Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8222); samples can be incubated for up to 3 days at 4 degrees C in the dark. Alternatively, the 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (Cat. No. 00-5333) can be used. This is a great option when working with whole blood but also works for other cell types.

Can the eFluor Organic fluorochromes be used for intracellular staining?

Yes, the eFluor Organic fluorochromes can be used for intracellular staining. The eFluor organic fluorochromes maintain bright signal and require minimal changes in compensation when fixed with eBioscience IC Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8222-49) and Permeabilization Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8333-56) or 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (Cat. No. 00-5333-54, 00-5333-57) (as compared to live cells).

What is the difference between eFluor Organic Dyes and eVolve Qdots?

The eFluor Organic Dyes (eFluor 450, APC-eFluor 780, PerCP-eFluor 710, eFluor 710) are conventional fluorochromes. In contrast, the eVolve line of products are Quantum dots.
