This antibody recognises CD16-2, also known as FcRIV. CD16-2 is a low affinity activatory receptor that binds to IgG2a and IgG2b with intermediate affinity. FcRIV has no affinity for IgG1 or IgG3 and therefore has a unique subclass specificity when compared to other Fc receptors. Expression of CD16-2 is restricted to cells of the myeloid lineage.

General Notes
Rat anti mouse CD16-2 antibody, clone AT137, recognizes CD16-2, also known as FcRIV. CD16-2 is a low affinity activatory receptor that binds to IgG2a and IgG2b with intermediate affinity. FcRIV has no affinity for IgG1 or IgG3 and therefore has a unique subclass specificity when compared to other Fc receptors. Expression of CD16-2 is restricted to cells of the myeloid lineage.
