The NK cells are CD56+CD16+CD3-.

For more information you might contact Janis Giorgi.

We have always used CD57, clone HNK-1.  The hybridoma is available from the
ATCC, so you can (inexpensively) prepare your own.

>Does any bodHNK-1 is not a good human NK marker since it also labels about 50%
of CD8+ T cells.  The standard recommended (ATCG and CDC) combination
to determine human NK cells is to stain with a combination of CD16-PE,
CD56-PE and CD3-FITC.  Two PE labeled antibodies are used because they are
both dim ( see:  Plaeger-Marshall S.  Spina CA.  Giorgi JV.  Mitsuyasu R.

y know which markers are the best to define Human NK cells?
