Overview
NK1.1 / CD161bc (also known as NKRP1, Ly55c, or Ly59) is a cell surface antigen expressed on NK cells and NK-T cells of certain mouse strains, which is being used for identification or antibody-mediated depletion of these cells in the respective strains. This antigen participates in NK cell activation, including production of interferon gamma, and release of cytotoxic granules.
Specificity:
The mouse monoclonal antibody PK136 recognizes an extracellular epitope of NK1.1 antigen (NK cell marker) expressed by some mouse strains (e.g. C57BL/6, NZB, CE, C58, Ma/My), whereas other strains (e.g. BALB/c, AKR, CBA, C3H) do not express this antigen. This antibody detects a conformational epitope on Nkrp1c and Nkrp1b gene products.
