The GenieFluor 488 Anti-Human CD16 Antibody (3G8) offered by AssayGenie is a cutting-edge tool designed for researchers studying the CD16 protein, a crucial component of immune cell function. This antibody, optimized for use in human samples, is highly specific and reliable, making it an ideal choice for various immunological assays.CD16, also known as FcγRIII, is a cell surface receptor that plays a vital role in mediating antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and immune response regulation. The GenieFluor 488 Anti-Human CD16 Antibody (3G8) binds specifically to the CD16 protein, allowing for precise detection and quantification in a range of cell types.
With its exceptional performance in applications such as flow cytometry and immunofluorescence, this antibody is a valuable tool for researchers investigating immune system function, infectious diseases, and cancer immunotherapy.By targeting CD16 and understanding its function, researchers can gain insights into immune cell activation, response to pathogens, and the development of therapeutic strategies. The GenieFluor 488 Anti-Human CD16 Antibody (3G8) enables accurate and reproducible results, empowering researchers to advance their studies in immunology, oncology, and beyond.
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by flow cytometric analysis. The amount of the reagent is suggested to be used 5 µL of antibody per test (million cells in 100 µL staining volume or per 100 µL of whole blood). Please check your vial before the experiment. Since applications vary, the appropriate dilutions must be determined for individual use.

Background:
CD16 is a 60 kD highly glycosylated protein. It is a member of the Ig superfamily and is also known as B7-1, B7, and Ly-53. CD16 is constitutively expressed on dendritic cells and monocytes/macrophages, and inducibly expressed on activated B and T cells. The ligation of CD28 on T cells with CD16 and CD86 (B7-2) on antigen presenting cells (such as dendritic cells, macrophages, and B cells) elicits co-stimulation of T cells resulting in enhanced cell activation, proliferation, and cytokine production. CD16 appears to be expressed later in the immune response than CD86. CD16 can also bind to CD152, also known as CTLA-4, to deliver an inhibitory signal to T cells.
