Description NB100-65875 recognizes the human CD158b cell surface antigen, a 58kD glycoprotein expressed by a subset of NK cells (also known as p58.2 antigen). This antibody also recognizes a 50kD molecule, which is highly homologous to p58.2 in the extracellular domain, but has a shorter cytoplasmic tail. Both molecules are members of the newly described natural killer cell receptor family. CD158b functions as a receptor specific for HLA Class I molecules, including Cw3 and related HLA-C alleles. This antibody can restore the lysis by human NK clones of otherwise lysis protected targets expressing Cw3.
About CD158b2 and Purified
CD158b2 Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) are transmembrane glycoproteins expressed by natural killer cells and subsets of T cells. The KIR genes are polymorphic and highly homologous and they are found in a cluster on chromosome 19q13.4 within the 1 Mb leukocyte receptor complex (LRC). The gene content of the KIR gene cluster varies among haplotypes, although several "framework" genes are found in all haplotypes (KIR3DL3, KIR3DP1, KIR3DL4, KIR3DL2). The KIR proteins are classified by the number of extracellular immunoglobulin domains (2D or 3D) and by whether they have a long (L) or short (S) cytoplasmic domain. KIR proteins with the long cytoplasmic domain transduce inhibitory signals upon ligand binding via an immune tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM), while KIR proteins with the short cytoplasmic domain lack the ITIM motif and instead associate with the TYRO protein tyrosine kinase binding protein to transduce activating signals. The ligands for several KIR proteins are subsets of HLA class I molecules; thus, KIR proteins are thought to play an important role in regulation of the immune response.
