NK1.1 Monoclonal Antibody (PK136), Invitrogen™

Descripción

Clone PK136 is specific for mouse NK1.1, also known as NKR-PIC and Ly-55. Mouse NK1.1 is expressed on NK cells and NKT cells on the following strains: C57BL, FVB/N and NZB. There are published reports that PK136 also binds to NKR-PIB on SJL/K NK cells. In addition to Flow and IHC, this clone has also been reported to work for in-vitro and in-vivo depletion assays.

NK1.1 (Killer cell lectin-like receptor subfamily B, member 1, KLRB1, NKR-P1A, CD161, cluster of differentiation 161), refers to Natural Killer (NK) cells, lymphocytes that mediate cytotoxicity and secrete cytokines after immune stimulation. Several genes of the C-type lectin superfamily, including the rodent NKRP1 family of glycoproteins, are expressed by NK cells and may be involved in the regulation of NK cell function. The KLRB1 protein contains an extracellular domain with several motifs characteristic of C-type lectins, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic domain. The KLRB1 protein, NKR-P1A or CD161, is classified as a type II membrane protein because it has an external C terminus. NKR-P1A, the receptor encoded by the KLRB1 gene, recognizes Lectin Like Transcript-1 (LLT1) as a functional ligand.
