Anti-Hu CD16 Biotin

CD16 (FcgammaRIII) is a 50-65 kDa glycoprotein serving as a low affinity IgG receptor. Human FcgammaRIII is expressed in two forms – FcgammaRIII-A and -B. FcgammaRIII-A is a transmembrane protein of monocytes, macrophages, NK cells and a subset of T cells. It is associated with FcepsilonRI-gamma subunit and is responsible for antibody-dependent NK cell cytotoxicity. Mast cell FcgammaRIII-A is associated, moreover, with FcepsilonRI-beta subunit. Besides IgG, FcgammaRIII-A can be triggered also by oligomeric IgE. FcgammaRIII-B is a GPI-linked monomeric receptor expressed on neutrophils and is involved in their activation and induction of a proadhesive phenotype.

Storage Conditions

Store at 2-8°C. Do not freeze.

Specificity

The antibody MEM-154 reacts with an extracellular epitope on CD16 antigen that is residing in proximity to FG loop (probably BC or C'E loop) . CD16 is a low affinity receptor for aggregated IgG (FcgammaRIII antigen) . The antibody MEM-154 reacts with CD16+ granulocytes, and it can be used for mapping CD16-158V/F polymorphism on NK cells, as it requires presence of V at amino acid 158.

Applications Notes

Flow cytometry: Recommended dilution: 5-8 μg/ml; positive control: PBL (peripheral blood lymphocytes) . The antibody MEM-154 does not react with CD16a present on NK cells in many subjects.
