CD56 MicroBeads, human

CD56 MicroBeads were developed for the positive selection or depletion of natural killer (NK) cells from human PBMCs or single-cell suspensions from tissues. The CD56 antigen is expressed by most NK cells and a minor T cell subset (CD3

NKT cells). Upon activation of NK cells, the surface expression of CD56 is increased.

CD56 MicroBeads, human (130-050-401)

Our laboratory investigates different ways to improve immune responses against HIV, including enhancement of the capacity of effector cells, such as NK cells, to kill HIV-infected cell. We are currently investigating the capacity of an engineered antibody to trigger NK-cell mediated ADCC activity in in vitro assays against an HIV-infected cell line. We use purified human NK cells from donors to use as effector cells in these assays.
