At least three isoforms of SLAMF4 are known to exist. SLAMF4 antibody is predicted to not cross-react with other SLAM protein family members.
Purification
SLAMF4 Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
SLAMF4 antibody was raised against a 16 amino acid synthetic peptide near the carboxy terminus of human SLAMF4. The immunogen is located within the last 50 amino acids of SLAMF4.

SLAMF4 Antibody: The signaling lymphocyte-activation molecule family member 4 (SLAMF4), also known as 2B4, is an important regulator of Natural Killer (NK) cell activation. It is expressed on NK cells as well as on subsets of T cells and interacts with SLAMF2, causing the activation of both SLAMF4- and SLAMF2-expressing cells. Patients with systemic lupus erythmatosus have lower than normal levels of SLAMF4 expressed on their NK cells and monocytes, suggesting that SLAMF4 may play a role in this autoimmune disease.
