About CD161
Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes that mediate cytotoxicity and secrete cytokines after immune stimulation. Several genes of the C-type lectin superfamily, including the rodent NKRP1 family of glycoproteins, are expressed by NK cells and may be involved in the regulation of NK cell function. The KLRB1 protein contains an extracellular domain with several motifs characteristic of C-type lectins, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic domain. The KLRB1 protein is classified as a type II membrane protein because it has an external C terminus. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

About Brilliant Violet 510
Brilliant™ Violet 510 (BV510) is a green-emitting non-tandem polymer fluorophore that can be excited by the 405 nm Violet laser and collected using a 510/50 bandpass filter. BV510 has an excitation peak at 405 nm and an emission peak at 510 nm, and is similar to StarBright Violet 515 (Bio-Rad). BV510 is most often used in flow cytometry due to its improved signal-to-noise over alternatives like V500 and AmCyan. This dye is part of the Brilliant™ Violet dye line. BV510 and BV480 are the only dyes in the Brilliant™ Violet dye family that are not tandem fluorophores based off the BV421 polymer core, but they have nearly the same maximum excitation.
