The Mouse CD161 (NK1.1) Monoclonal Antibody (AF647 Conjugated) (PK136) (AGEL0483) is a powerful tool for researchers studying natural killer (NK) cell biology and immune responses in mice. This monoclonal antibody specifically targets the CD161 (NK1.1) protein, which is a well-known marker for certain subsets of NK cells and a range of other immune cells. With its AF647 conjugation, this antibody provides excellent fluorescence properties, allowing for sensitive detection and analysis in flow cytometry and immunofluorescence applications.
The PK136 clone ensures high specificity and reliability in identifying CD161 (NK1.1)-positive cells in various experimental setups.By using this antibody, researchers can deepen their understanding of NK cell function, immune surveillance, and the role of CD161 (NK1.1) in immune responses. This antibody is a valuable tool for investigating immune cell interactions, inflammatory processes, and the development of potential immunotherapies.
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by flow cytometric analysis. The amount of the reagent is suggested to be used 5 µL of antibody per test (million cells in 100 µL staining volume or per 100 µL of whole blood). Please check your vial before the experiment. Since applications vary, the appropriate dilutions must be determined for individual use.

Background:
NK-1.1 surface antigen, also known as CD161b/CD161c and Ly-55, is encoded by the NKR-P1B/NKR-P1C gene. It is expressed on NK cells and NK-T cells in some mouse strains, including C57BL/6, FVB/N, and NZB, but not AKR, BALB/c, CBA/J, C3H, DBA/1, DBA/2, NOD, SJL, and 129. Expression of NKR-P1C antigen has been correlated with lysis of tumor cells in vitro and rejection of bone marrow allografts in vivo. NK-1.1 has also been shown to play a role in NK cell activation, IFN-γ production, and cytotoxic granule release. NK-1.1 and DX5 are commonly used as mouse NK cell markers.
