Description Clone REA261 recognizes the killer cell lectin-like receptor subfamily G member 1 (KLRG1) antigen, a transmembrane protein, which is also known as C-type lectin domain family 15 member A (CLEC15A) or ITIM-containing receptor MAFA-L. KLRG1 is expressed by basophils, CD4 and CD8 T cells that exhibit a memory cell phenotype, and by a large proportion of peripheral blood NK cells. Expression of KLRG1 by virus-specific CD8+ T cells is induced by repetitive antigen stimulation and it differs in chronic versus resolved viral infections. T cells expressing KLRG1 exhibit a poor proliferation potential, while their ability to secrete gamma interferon is preserved. Thus, KLRG1 is a convenient marker for early T cell–differentiation. | Additional information: Clone REA261 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors.
About KLRG1 and PE
KLRG1 Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes that can mediate lysis of certain tumor cells and virus-infected cells without previous activation. They can also regulate specific humoral and cell-mediated immunity. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the killer cell lectin-like receptor (KLR) family, which is a group of transmembrane proteins preferentially expressed in NK cells. Studies in mice suggested that the expression of this gene may be regulated by MHC class I molecules. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2016]
PE Phycoerythrin (PE, R-PE) is a red-emitting fluorescent protein-chromophore complex that can be excited the 488-nm blue, 532-nm green, or 561-nm yellow-green laser with increasing efficiency and captured with a 586/14 nm bandpass filter. PE has an excitation peak at 565 nm and an emission peak at 578 nm. PE is 240kD in size and has an extinction coefficient of ~2x10^6 which makes it one of the brightest fluorophores available and a potent donor upon which to build tandem fluorophores with longer Stoke's Shifts.
