Product Information CD57

Antigen distribution:
The CD57 myeloid associated glycoprotein, also known as HNK-1, is found on a subset of mononuclear cells with natural killer activity and on neuroectodermal cells expressing myelin associated glycoprotein. Cells which co-express CD57 and CD8 antigens are a subset of suppressor/cytotoxic T cells. CD57 cells may play a role in graft rejection in acute graft versus host disease.


Application:
Clone NK-1 monoclonal antibodies are used in the analysis of NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity, in studies of NK cell and T cell subsets or for neural tissue glycoproteins.
NK-1 reacts with formalin and B5 fixed paraffin embedded sections to human NK cells and T-cell subsets similar to HNK-1 and Leu-7. It recognizes NK cells (large granular lymphocytes) in germinal centers, neural tissue glycoproteins and prostate antigens.


Specifications:
Clone NK-1 produces mouse IgM immunoglobulins directed against a 110 kD lymphocyte surface antigen. It is reactive in frozen and paraffin sections and flow cytometry. Typical working dilution in immunohistochemistry is 1:40
