Invitrogen™ Ly-49H Monoclonal Antibody (3D10), eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Description

The MAb 3D10 recognizes Ly-49H, a member of the C-type lectin Ly-49 multigene family of receptors found on natural killer cells. Ly-49H, like Ly-49D, lacks the characteristic ITIM (immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif) and contains an arginine in the transmembrane domain implying these molecules act as activation receptors. Ly-49H is expressed in a subset of NK cells but not NKT (NK1.1CD3+) cells. Natural killer cells can express several Ly-49 proteins. It has been shown that there is preferential staining of Ly-49H with Ly-49D (cat 12-5783). Expression has been confirmed on C57BL/6 and NWNA but not Balb/c or DBA/2 mice. Other mice strains have not been tested. No crossreactivity to Ly-49A, C, D or G2 has been observed. Addition of MAb 3D10 to cell cultures induces lysis of target cells.
