Protein A affinity chromatography of tissue culture supernatant.

This antibody recognises human CD16, a 50-65 kDa cell surface molecule, which is the low affinity receptor for IgG (FcR III). CD16 exists as a transmembranous form (Fc gammaRIIIA, or CD16A) and a glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchored form (Fc gammaRIIIB, or CD16B). CD16A is expressed by NK cells, some T cells, and macrophages , whereas CD16B is primarily expressed by granulocytes. Clone KD1 recognises both forms of CD16 and will therefore recognize all cell types expressing CD16. Mouse anti Human CD16, clone KD1 can be used to identify CD16 in a range of species including bovine and ovine.
