This Mouse Monoclonal antibody specifically detects CD16 in FACS, IP, WB and Func. It exhibits reactivity toward Human. It has been mentioned in 4+ publications
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.
Purification
Purified by protein-A affinity chromatography.
Purity
> 95 % (by SDS-PAGE)
Endotoxin Level
Endotoxin level is less than 0.01 EU/µg of the protein, as determined by the LAL test.
Functional application: The antibody MEM-154 blocks binding of human IgG to FcγRIII. Flow cytometry: Recommended dilution: 5-10 μg/mL, positive control: PBL (peripheral blood lymphocytes). The antibody MEM-154 does not react with CD16a present on NK cells in many subjects. Western blotting: Non-reducing conditions.

Background
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.,FcgammaRIII, IGFR3, FCRIII
