NKG2D Mouse anti-Human, APC, Clone: 1D11, BD

Antibody 1D11 reacts with NKG2D (42kDa), an activating receptor for MICA encoded within MHC. Different from natural cytotoxicity receptor (NCR), NKG2D expression is not confined to NK cells, it is also present on virtually all TCR γ/δ+ and CD8+TCR α/β+ T cells. NKG2D functions as a triggering receptor involved in natural cytotoxicity mediated by normal NK cells against a variety of tumors or normal target cells. More importantly, NKG2D can complement the role of NCR in tumor cell lysis. Remarkably, the combined maskings of NCR and NKG2D led to a complete inhibition of NK-mediated lysis of all tumor or normal cells. This antibody is routinely tested by flow cytometric analysis. Other applications were tested at BD Biosciences Pharmingen during antibody development only or reported in the literature.
