KIR Activators

Santa Cruz Biotechnology now offers a broad range of KIR Activators for use in various applications. Killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) are a family of receptors expressed primarily on the surface of natural killer (NK) cells and some T cells, where they play a crucial role in the regulation of the immune response. KIRs interact with specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I molecules to modulate the activity of NK cells, either activating or inhibiting their cytotoxic functions. KIR Activators are essential tools in scientific research, enabling researchers to explore the mechanisms by which KIRs influence immune surveillance, recognition of infected or transformed cells, and the overall balance between immune activation and tolerance. By activating KIRs, scientists can investigate how these receptors contribute to immune system modulation, providing insights into their role in conditions such as cancer, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. These activators are widely used in immunological studies, cellular biology research, and investigations into immune system disorders, helping to study the complex interactions between KIRs and other immune components. The availability of these activators has significantly advanced research in immunology, offering critical tools for studying the intricate processes that govern immune cell function and regulation.
