CD158e/k (KIR3DL1/DL2) Antibody, anti-human, APC, REAfinity™

01MT09889

Clone REA970 recognizes the human CD158e (KIR3DL1) and CD158k (KIR3DL2) antigens, members of the killer immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) family which recognizes subsets of HLA alleles. The family of KIR contributes to the regulation of NK cell–mediated cytotoxicity. Expression is found mainly on CD56dimCD16+ natural killer (NK) cells but also on a subset of CD8+ T cells. They are monomeric receptors possessing high allelic polymorphism with either two or three Ig-like extracellular domains. According to the length of their cytoplasmic tail, KIRs can be subdivided in inhibitory KIRs and activ
