Description

The A10 monoclonal antibody reacts with the mouse NKG2D, a lectin-like molecule expressed on both human and mouse NK cells. Mouse NKG2D binds to retinoic acid-inducible RAE-1α, -β, -γ, -δ, -ε and the minor histocompatibility molecule H60 and has the ability to costimulate multiple NK activation receptors, through the DAP12/DAP10 adaptor molecules. NKG2D is expressed by all spleen and liver NK cells, NK1.1⁺ thymocytes, in vitro activated LAK cells, and a subset of splenic NKT cells. A10 and C7 antibodies detect NK cells from all inbred strains of mouse tested so far. In redirected lysis assays, A10 is reported to stimulate NK cells to kill Daudi targets. In addition, immobilized A10 is reported to induce production of GM-CSF by NK clones and LAK cells through a CD16 (FCγRIII) concomitant engagement. A10 and another hamster anti-mouse NKG2D (clone C7) compete with each other for binding to transfected cells by flow cytometric analysis, suggesting that they may bind to similar epitopes or block each other by steric hindrance. C7 (neutralizing) and A10 (activating) also exhibit different functional properties.

Expression of the NKG2D antigen on mouse peripheral NK and NKT cells can be detected by flow cytometric analysis using mAb CX5 with much brighter intensity.

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. The A10 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. It has also been reported in activation in functional studies. (Please use Functional Grade purified A10, cat. 16-5872, in functional assays.)

Applications Tested

The A10 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse splenocyte suspensions. This can be used at less than or equal to 1 μg per million cells in a 100 μl total staining volume. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.
