This Antibody was verified by Relative expression to ensure that the antibody binds to the antigen stated.
Notice: The eVolve™ line of antibody conjugates will be discontinued at the end of February, 2018 and replaced with our improved Invitrogen™ eBioscience™ Super Bright conjugated antibodies for flow cytometry. Individual eVovle catalog numbers will become unavailable as inventory depletes. This item has a corresponding Super Bright 600 format available – please see Product # 63-0168-41. We will continue to offer a selection of Qdot conjugated antibodies.
Description: The eBioCB16 monoclonal antibody recognizes CD16 (Fc gamma RIII), the low-affinity receptor for IgG with an apparent molecular weight of 50-80 kDa. CD16 is represented by two similar genes, CD16A (Fc gamma RIIIA), which exists as a hetero-oligomeric polypeptide-anchored form in macrophages and NK cells and CD16B (Fc gamma RIIIB), which exists as a monomeric GPI-anchored form in neutrophils. Furthermore, there are two known polymorphisms of CD16B, NA-1 and NA-2. Individuals homozygous for NA-2 show a lower phagocytic capacity compared with NA-1. CD16 binds IgG in the form of immune complexes and shows preferential binding of IgG1 and IgG3 isotypes and minimal binding of IgG2 and IgG4. Upon IgG binding, both CD16 isoforms initiate signal transduction cascades that lead to a variety of responses including antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), phagocytosis, degranulation, and proliferation.
Applications Reported: This eBioCB16 (CB16) antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.
Applications Tested: This eBioCB16 (CB16) antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal human peripheral blood cells. This can be used at 5 µL per test. A test is defined as the amount 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.
For best results when using antibodies conjugated to eVolve™, we recommend a quick spin of the vial before use and avoid touching the bottom of the vial with the pipet tip.
Laser/Filter Recommendation: eVolve™ 605 can be optimally excited with laser lines from 325-405 nm, and emits near 610 nm. We recommend using the violet (405 nm) laser line for excitation and a 595LP with a 605/40 or 610/20 bandpass filter, or equivalent, for detection.
Fixation Recommendation: Antibodies conjugated to eVolve™ are compatible with eBioscience's fixation and permeabilization buffers.
Excitation: 350-590 nm; Emission: 605 nm; Laser: Ultraviolet Laser, Violet Laser
Storage and handling: For best results when using antibodies conjugated to eVolve™, we recommend a quick spin of the vial before use and avoid touching the bottom of the vial with the pipet tip.
CD16 (FCGR3A) is a 50-65 kDa cell surface molecule that exists in two forms - a transmembranous form expressed by NK cells and some T cells, and a phosphatidylinositol linked form expressed by granulocytes. CD16 is a low affinity receptor for IgG (FcR III), and is an important receptor mediating ADCC by NK cells. Human CD16 is expressed in two forms – FCGR3A and FCGR3B. FCGR3A is associated with the FcepsilonRI-gamma subunit and is responsible for antibody-dependent NK cell cytotoxicity. Mast cell FCGR3A is associated, with FcepsilonRI-beta subunit. Besides IgG, FCGR3A can be triggered also by oligomeric IgE. FCGR3B is a GPI-linked monomeric receptor expressed on neutrophils and is involved in their activation and induction of a pro-adhesive phenotype. Diseases associated with CD16 dysfunction include immunodeficiency 20 and systemic lupus erythematosus.
