iFluor® 670 Anti-human CD16 Antibody *3G8*

The 3G8 monoclonal antibody recognizes human CD16a, a 50 - 65 kD transmembrane protein typically found on the surface of macrophages, natural killer cells, dendritic cells, monocytes and neutrophils. CD16 is a member of key cellular pathways, namely, the Fc-gamma receptor signaling pathway involved in phagocytosis. From a research standpoint, it is of biological interest due to its association with important macromolecules/ligands like IgG Fc. CD16 is a very popular antibody target, with over 25000 publications in the last decade. CD16a is frequently used in flow cytometry applications as a phenotypic marker for differentiation of cell types, particularly in the study of immunology. This antibody was purified through affinity chromatography and conjugated to iFluor® 670 (ex/em = 671/682 nm). It is compatible with the 642 nm laser and 702/87 nm bandpass filter (for example, as in the Luminex Amnis CellStream).
