CD161 Antibody, anti-rat, APC, REAfinity™

01MT02172

Clone REA227 recognizes rat CD161, a C-type lectin membrane glycoprotein also known as NKR-P1. CD161 is expressed as an 80 kDa disulphide-linked homodimer and is found on most NK cells, T cell subsets, and many dendritic cells. In peripheral blood, CD161 is preferentially expressed on T cells of memory phenotype, but it can also be found on subsets of thymocytes and fetal liver T cells. CD161 has been implicated in triggering NK-mediated cytotoxicity, contributing to target cell recognition by NK cells.Additional information: Clone REA227 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors.
