Description

The eBioPP35 monoclonal antibody reacts with human CD244, also known as 2B4, p38, NK-cell activation-inducing ligand, signaling lymphocyte activation molecule family member 4, and natural killer cell receptor 2B4. Human CD244 is a 38 kD protein expressed on NK cells, a subset of CD8+ T cells, γδ T cells, monocytes, basophils, mast cells, and eosinophils. Binding of CD244 to its ligand, CD48, results in NK cell activation. Costaining experiments with eBioC1.7 suggest that both antibodies recognize different epitopes.

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. This eBioPP35 (PP35) antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.

Applications Tested

This eBioPP35 (PP35) antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by flow cytometric analysis of human peripheral blood cells. This can be used at 20 μl (0.5 μg) per million cells in a 100 μl total staining volume.
