| Background | Mouse anti Human CD161 antibody, clone B199.2 recognizes the human Killer cell lectin-like receptor subfamily B member 1, also known as CD161, C-type lectin domain family 5 member B, HNKR-P1a, NKR-P1A or Natural killer cell surface protein P1A. CD161 is a 225 amino acid ~25 kDa predicted molecular mass, single pass type II transmembrane glycoprotein with a single C-type lectin domain. CD161 is expressed by almost all NK cells and a subset of CD3+ve T cells (Lanier 1994). Mouse anti Human CD161 antibody, clone B199.2 cross-competes with and recognizes a similar epitope to the DX1 monoclonal antibody (Lanier et al. 1994). |
