This antibody recognizes an extracellular epitope of CD16, a low affinity receptor for aggregated IgG (FcgammaRIII antigen). CD16 exists in two different isoforms: CD16a (FcgammaRIIIA, 50-65 kDa, expressed on NK-cells, monocytes, and macrophages) and CD16b (FcgammaRIIIB, 48 kDa, mainly expressed on neutrophils).
