CD161

Purified splenic NK cells from the LEW rat strain.

This product recognises the rat CD161 protein (also known as NKR-PI) a 60kD glycoprotein expressed on rat NK cells and T cell subpopulations. This antibody competes with clone 3. 2. 3 for binding to the antigen. Clone 10/78 stimulates NK mediated cytoxicity in a manner identical to clone 3. 2. 3.

Phosphate buffered saline pH7. 4

Plays an inhibitory role on natural killer (NK) cells cytotoxicity. Activation results in specific acid sphingomyelinase/SMPD1 stimulation with subsequent marked elevation of intracellular ceramide. Activation also leads to AKT1/PKB and RPS6KA1/RSK1 kinases stimulation as well as markedly enhanced T-cell proliferation induced by anti-CD3. Acts as a lectin that binds to the terminal carbohydrate Gal-alpha(1 3)Gal epitope as well as to the N-acetyllactosamine epitope. Binds also to CLEC2D/LLT1 as a ligand and inhibits NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity as well as interferon-gamma secretion in target cells.
