Anti-Mouse Ly-108 APC

Description: The eBio13G3-19D monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse Ly108, the mouse homologue of human SLAMF6 (signaling lymphocyte activation molecule family member 6). Mouse Ly108 is also known as NTB-A (NK cell, T cell, B cell antigen), and is expressed on NK, T cells, and B cells. Engagement of the Ly108 receptor enhances NK cell activity and expression of IFN-gamma, and contributes to the inability of NK cells to kill Epstein Barr virus-infected B cells in X-linked lymphoproliferative disease. CD4+ T cells from Ly108 knock-out mice exhibit diminished ability to produce IL-4 and defective neutrophil functions.

Staining has not revealed any strain differences between C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice. Other strains have not been tested.
