NKp80 Monoclonal / FITC / REA845

Product Details

Description	Clone REA845 recognizes the human NKp80 antigen, an 80 kDa homodimeric surface molecule belonging to the family of C-type lectin-like receptors. NKp80 is expressed on all human natural killer (NK) cells and on a small subset of effector memory CD8+ T cells. NKp80 stimulates NK cell cytotoxicity and cytokine release and appears to co-operate with other triggering receptors to induce optimal NK cell activation upon interaction with potential target cells. The ligand of NKp80 is activation-induced C-type lectin (AICL), also called CLEC2B. \| Additional information: Clone REA845 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors.

About 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.
