NK Cell Marker Antibody (ANK61) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects NK Cell Marker protein of mouse and rat origin by immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), immunohistochemistry with paraffin-embedded sections (IHCP), and flow cytometry (FCM). NK Cell Marker (ANK61) antibody is available as non-conjugated anti-NK Cell Marker antibody. Natural killer (NK) cells, which are large granular lymphocytes derived from bone marrow, play a crucial role in the innate immune system by identifying and eliminating infected or transformed cells. These cells are particularly important in early defense against viral infections, such as herpes, as NK cells can recognize and destroy cells compromised by pathogens. NK Cell Marker protein is essential for identification and characterization of immune cells, helping distinguish NK cells from other lymphocyte populations. Additionally, NK cells are equipped with specialized proteins, including perforin and granzymes, which facilitate cytotoxic function. Perforin forms pores in membranes of target cells, allowing granzymes to enter and induce apoptosis, thereby preventing infection spread. Understanding NK cell function and mechanisms is vital for developing immunotherapies and enhancing immune responses against various diseases.

Can this be used for IHC-Frozen?

Asked by: sat75
This primary antibody is recommended and warrantied for IF (immunofluorescent staining of fresh or frozen tissues or cells fixed in methanol or acetone), however we are still gathering data to show on our website. Check back for updates!

The datasheet says: 'NK Cell Marker (ANK61) is recommended for detection of activated and inactivated NK cells'. Is there any citation for this statement? Thanks!

Asked by: sm0886
Thank you for your question. This is a commercially available clone that has been reported to recognize both inactivated and activated NK cells. The antibody is directed against rat NK cell activation structures. Unfortunately I do not have a specific citation for this information. If you have any further questions, please contact Technical Service by phone, (800)-457-3801 option 2, email <scbt@scbt.com>, or by live chat directly on our website, www.scbt.com.
