CD16 antibody, 3G8, recognizes human CD16, also known as low-affinity IgG receptor III (FcγRIII). There are two distinct forms of CD16, CD16a (FcγRIIIa) and CD16b (FcγRIIIb). CD16a is a 50-65 kDa heterooligomeric polypeptide-anchored transmembrane protein expressed by NK cells, macrophages, and subsets of monocytes1. CD16b is a 48 kDa monomeric glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein expressed on neutrophils1. Upon binding to the Fc portion of IgG or IgG-antigen complex, both CD16 isoforms induce signaling cascades resulting in multiple functions, including phagocytosis, cytokine release, proliferation, degranulation, and antibody dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC)2.

This monoclonal antibody is aseptically packaged and formulated in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline (150 mM NaCl) PBS pH 7.2 - 7.4 with no carrier protein, potassium, calcium or preservatives added. Due to inherent biochemical properties of antibodies, certain products may be prone to precipitation over time. Precipitation may be removed by aseptic centrifugation and/or filtration.

CD16 is expressed on NK cells, activated monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, and placental trophoblasts.

Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications. See directions on lot specific datasheets, as information may periodically change.
