Product Description

The recombinant 3G8 antibody binds to human and non-human primate CD16 or FcγRIII, a cluster of differentiation molecule found on the surface of natural killer cells, neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, and certain T cells. CD16 consists of Fc receptors FcγRIIIa (CD16a) and FcγRIIIb (CD16b). The most well-researched membrane receptor implicated in triggering lysis by NK cells, CD16 is a molecule of the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) involved in antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). It can be used to isolate populations of specific immune cells through fluorescent-activated cell sorting (FACS) or magnetic-activated cell sorting, using antibodies directed towards CD16.The most popular human Fc blocking reagents include:Anti-human CD16 (clone 3G8), and CD32 (Clone IV.3): for flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and immunoprecipitation (IP). It is highly specific for FcγRII (CD32) and FcγRIII (CD16), and reduces background staining; it may not block all Fc receptors. Clones 10.1, and 22 or H22 are the most widely used anti-human FcγRI (CD64) clone for Fc blocking in flow cytometry and functional assays. It prevents non-specific Fc receptor binding on monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells, improving antibody specificity.Purified human IgGs
