BD, 559876, APC Mouse Anti-Human CD94 HP-3D9

The HP-3D9 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD94 which is also known as KP43. CD94 is expressed on the cell surface as a ~70 kDa, disulfide-linked, type II transmembrane glycoprotein dimer. It is encoded by KLRD1 (Killer cell lectin like receptor D1) which belongs to the C-type lectin superfamily. CD94 is expressed on natural killer (NK) cells, especially activated NK cells. It is also expressed on γ/δ TCR+ T lymphocytes, NK-T cells, and on some CD8+CD56+ α/β TCR+ cells. CD94 associates with various NKG2 receptors to form receptors for HLA class I molecules and plays a role in regulating cellular adhesion and activation. The HP-3D9 antibody can reportedly inhibit the cytolytic activity of activated NK cells.

Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated to APC under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free APC were removed.
1. This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
2. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
3. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
4. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
