Background
KIR3DL3, also known as Killer Cell Immunoglobulin-like Receptor 3DL3, is an inhibitory receptor present in NK cells. It is a framework gene, and present in all human haplotypes. In healthy individuals it is expressed at very low levels in CD8+ TEMRA and CD56dim NK cells, but in certain pathologies its levels are increased. It was recently found that B7-H7 is a ligand for KIR3DL3, an interaction that leads to NK cell suppression. Its role as immune checkpoint makes it an attractive target in cancer therapy.
Storage/Stability
At least 6 months at -80°C.
Instructions for Use
Thaw on ice and gently mix prior to use. DO NOT VORTEX. Perform a quick spin before opening. Aliquot into small volumes and flash freeze for long term storage. Avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles.
