BackgroundCD56, M.W. 150,000, is expressedonapproximately 10-25%ofhuman peripheral blood lymphocytes. CD56 (NKH-1) is expressed on human peripheral blood natural killer cells, representing a pan NK-cell antigen. Expressed on non-MHC-restricted cytotoxic T cells.

Synonyms: CD8 FITC - CD56 PE

Source

Immunogen: CD8=Derived from the hybridization of mouse NS-1 myeloma cells with spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with human perherial blood T lymphocytes.CD56=Derived from the hybridization of mouse Sp2/0 myeloma cells with spleen cells from BALB/cF1 mice immunized with KG1a cell line.
