Target: CD32/CD16.
Clone: 2.4G2.
Specificity: Anti-CD32/CD16 In Vivo Antibody - Low Endotoxin (2.4G2) recognizes the FcγII and FcγIII receptors.
Purification method: This monoclonal antibody was purified using multi-step affinity chromatography methods such as Protein A or G depending on the species and isotype.
Antigen Distribution: The Fc gamma II/III receptors are present on mouse natural killer cells, monocytes, macrophages, granulocytes, B-cells and most fetal thymocytes.
Background: CD16 is a low-affinity IgG Fc receptor III and CD32 is FcR II. CD16/CD32 are expressed on B cells, monocytes/macrophages, NK cells, granulocytes, mast cells, and dendritic cells. The Fc receptors bind antibody-antigen immune complexes and mediate adaptive immune responses. Clone 2.4G2 antibody is used in flow cytometry staining experiments to prevent non-specific binding of IgG to the FcγIII and FcγII, and possibly FcγI, receptors prior to staining with antigen-specific primary antibodies. The Fab fragments of the 2.4G2 antibody have also been used to block Fc receptors in vivo.
