Additional info: TCR Vdelta2 is a variant of TCR delta chain, that is present on a major subset of human gamma/delta T cells. TCR Vgamma9/Vdelta2 (or Vgamma2/Vdelta2) T cells are able to recognize and kill various tumor cells, as this receptor heterodimer binds to certain phosphoantigens, expressed by tumors. They can recognize these antigens in an MHC-unrestricted manner. Similarly to NK cells, Vdelta2 T cells express MHC I receptors and killer Ig-like receptors, that are involved in tumor recognition and cytolysis. The potently cytotoxic subset of them is identified by cell surface expression of polysialyated CD56.SpecificityThe mouse monoclonal antibody 4A11.904 recognizes an extracellular epitope of human TCR Vgamma4, that is present on a minor subset of human gamma/delta T cells.Application detailsFlow cytometry: Recommended dilution: 1-4 μg/ml.
