CD16 antibody

Catalog No. ABIN509571

Product Details anti-CD16 Antibody

Target: CD16

Reactivity: Human, Non-Human Primate

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This CD16 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunoprecipitation (IP), Immunohistochemistry (Frozen Sections) (IHC (fro))

Specificity: The mouse monoclonal antibody 3G8 recognizes an extracellular epitope of CD16, a low affinity receptor for aggregated IgG (FcgammaRIII antigen). CD16 exists in two different isoforms: CD16a (FcgammaRIIIA, 50-65 kDa, expressed on NK-cells, monocytes and macrophages) and CD16b (FcgammaRIIIB, 48 kDa, mainly expressed on neutrophils). Regarding CD16-158V/F polymorphism, the antibody 3G8 detects both 158V and 158F allotype on natural NK cells.

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
