Description Clone REA339 recognizes the human CD352 antigen, a 60 kDa single-pass type I membrane protein also known as SLAM family member 6 (SLAM6) or natural killer (NK), T, and B cell–antigen (NTB-A). CD352 belongs to the CD2 subfamily of the immunoglobulin superfamily and is expressed on NK, T, and B cells. It undergoes tyrosine phosphorylation and associates with the Src homology 2 domain-containing protein (SH2D1A) as well as with SH2 domain-containing phosphatases. Monoclonal antibody-mediated cross-linking of CD352 results in the induction of NK-mediated cytotoxicity. CD352 also triggers cytolytic activity only in NK cells expressing high surface densities of natural cytotoxicity receptors. This suggests that CD352 may function as a coreceptor in the process of NK cell activation. Importantly, analysis of NK cells derived from patients with X-linked lymphoproliferative disease showed that the lack of SH2D1A protein profoundly affects the function of CD352. | Additional information: Clone REA339 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors.
About CD352 and FITC
CD352 The protein encoded by this gene is a type I transmembrane protein, belonging to the CD2 subfamily of the immunoglobulin superfamily. This encoded protein is expressed on Natural killer (NK), T, and B lymphocytes. It undergoes tyrosine phosphorylation and associates with the Src homology 2 domain-containing protein (SH2D1A) as well as with SH2 domain-containing phosphatases (SHPs). It functions as a coreceptor in the process of NK cell activation. It can also mediate inhibitory signals in NK cells from X-linked lymphoproliferative patients. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
FITC Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) has an excitation peak at 495 nm and an emission peak at 519 nm. The name FITC is a misnomer in that the isothiocyanate is a reactive form of this dye. Once FITC is conjugated to an antibody, it is simply Fluorescein conjugated. FITC is one of the most widely used dyes for fluorescent applications, therefore most instruments come standard with a 488 nm laser and FITC filter set up. FITC is commonly conjugated to secondary antibodies and used in applications such as flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry, and immunohistochemistry. FITC is relatively dim, sensitive to photobleaching and it is susceptible to changes is pH. There are better performing alternatives to FITC, like Vio®Bright 515, Alexa Fluor™ 488, iFluor® 488, CF®488A and DY-488. FITC is a long-time generic dye with no sole manufacturer or trademark.
