Anti-Human CD32 APC

Description: This 6C4 monoclonal antibody reacts with human CD32 (also known as FcγRII). This antibody recognizes two isoforms of the receptor, FcγRIIA and FcγRIIB. These 40-kDa polymorphic transmembrane glycoproteins are expressed on B cells, granulocytes, monocytes, macrophages, and platelets. Moreover, these receptors are detected on natural killer cells. CD32 enables interaction between FcγRII-expressing cells and opsonized antigen or IgG-containing immune complexes. Both receptors exhibit low affinity towards IgG and play a role in inflammation and autoimmune disease. This clone has been reported to inhibit Ig binding in a rosette blocking assay.
