Protocol Available protocols: Western Blotting, Immunoprecipitation Specificity / Sensitivity 2B4/SLAMF4/CD244 (D5J9D) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total 2B4/SLAMF4/CD244 protein. This antibody cross-reacts with an unidentified protein of 18 kDa in some cell extracts. Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Asp367 of human 2B4/SLAMF4/CD244 protein. Background 2B4, also known as signaling lymphocytic activation molecule family member 4 (SLAMF4) and cluster of differentiation 244 (CD244), is a heterophilic cell surface receptor expressed on a variety of immune cells, including natural killer (NK) cells, T cells, eosinophils, mast cells, and dendritic cells. 2B4 has been shown to have both immune stimulatory and inhibitory effects on cells (1-11). Upon engagement of its ligand CD48, 2B4 can enhance immune cell signaling, cytokine production, non-major histocompatibility complex-restricted cytotoxicity, and cell migration (1-8). Conversely, at early stages of NK cell differentiation, 2B4 may function as an inhibitory receptor possibly ensuring the self-tolerance of developing NK cells (10). 2B4 also inhibits inflammatory responses in dendritic cells (11). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
