Western Blotting (WB), Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunoprecipitation (IP)
Specificity
This antibody recognises the CD158b cell surface antigen. This antibody also recognises a 50 kDa molecule, which is highly homologous to p58.2 in the extracellular domain, but has a shorter cytoplasmic tail.
Purification
Purified

(Killer Cell Immunoglobulin-Like Receptor, Two Domains, Long Cytoplasmic Tail, 3 (KIR2DL3))
CD158b is a 58kD glycoprotein expressed by a subset of NK cells (also known as p58.2 antigen). The antigen is a members of the newly described natural killer cell receptor family. CD158b functions as a receptor specific for HLA Class I molecules, including Cw3 and related HLA-C alleles. This antibody can restore the lysis by human NK clones of otherwise lysis protected targets expressing Cw3.Synonyms: KIRCL23, Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor 2DL3, MHC class I NK cell receptor, NKAT2a, NKAT2b, Natural killer-associated transcript 2
