Description
The 1D11 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to NKG2D, a 42 kDa type II transmembrane glycoprotein that is also known as CD314 and KLRK1. NKG2D is a member of the C-type lectin family and is expressed on human NK cells. This activating receptor binds strongly to several ligands including MICA and MICB and ULBP-1, -2, and -3 proteins that are expressed by different target cell types. Different from natural cytotoxicity receptor (NCR), NKG2D expression is not confined to NK cells. It is also expressed on virtually all TCR γ/δ+ and CD8+TCR α/β+ T cells. NKG2D functions as a triggering receptor involved in natural cytotoxicity mediated by normal NK cells against a variety of tumors or normal target cells. Importantly, NKG2D can complement the role of NCR in tumor cell lysis. Remarkably, the combined maskings of NCR and NKG2D can reportedly lead to a complete inhibition of NK-mediated lysis of all tumor or normal cells. The 1D11 antibody can reportedly block or stimulate the function of NKG2D-positive cells.
Put all BD® AbSeq Reagents to be pooled into a Latch Rack for 500 µL Tubes (Thermo Fisher Scientific Cat. No. 4900). Arrange the tubes so that they can be easily uncapped and re-capped with an 8-Channel Screw Cap Tube Capper (Thermo Fisher Scientific Cat. No. 4105MAT) and the reagents aliquoted with a multi-channel pipette. BD® AbSeq tubes should be centrifuged for ≥ 30 seconds at 400 × g to ensure removal of any content in the cap/tube threads prior to the first opening.
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 and conjugated to BD® AbSeq oligonucleotide under optimal conditions.
1. This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended volume per test. Typical use is 2 µl for 1 × 10^6 cells in a 200-µl staining reaction.
2. The production process underwent stringent testing and validation to assure that it generates a high-quality conjugate with consistent performance and specific binding activity. However, verification testing has not been performed on all conjugate lots.
