Flow cytometric analysis of CD94 expression on human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Human whole blood was stained with either PerCP-Cy™5.5 Mouse Anti-Human CD94 antibody (Cat. No. 562361; solid line histogram) or with a PerCP-Cy™5.5 Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 550795; dashed line histogram). The erythrocytes were lysed with BD Pharm Lyse™ Lysing Buffer (Cat. No. 555899). The fluorescence histograms were derived from events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable lymphocytes. Flow cytometry was performed using a BD™ LSR II Flow Cytometer System.

Preparation And Storage
Product Notices
- This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- Please observe the following precautions: Absorption of visible light can significantly alter the energy transfer occurring in any tandem fluorochrome conjugate; therefore, we recommend that special precautions be taken (such as wrapping vials, tubes, or racks in aluminum foil) to prevent exposure of conjugated reagents, including cells stained with those reagents, to room illumination.
- Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
- PerCP-Cy5.5–labelled antibodies can be used with FITC- and R-PE–labelled reagents in single-laser flow cytometers with no significant spectral overlap of PerCP-Cy5.5, FITC, and R-PE fluorescence.
- PerCP-Cy5.5 is optimized for use with a single argon ion laser emitting 488-nm light. Because of the broad absorption spectrum of the tandem fluorochrome, extra care must be taken when using dual-laser cytometers, which may directly excite both PerCP and Cy5.5™. We recommend the use of cross-beam compensation during data acquisition or software compensation during data analysis.

The HP-3D9 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD94 which is also known as KP43. CD94 is expressed on the cell surface as a ~70 kDa, disulfide-linked, type II transmembrane glycoprotein dimer. It is encoded by KLRD1 (Killer cell lectin like receptor D1) which belongs to the C-type lectin superfamily. CD94 is expressed on natural killer (NK) cells, especially activated NK cells. It is also expressed on γ/δ TCR+ T lymphocytes, NK-T cells, and on some CD8+CD56+ α/β TCR+ cells. CD94 associates with various NKG2 receptors to form receptors for HLA class I molecules and plays a role in regulating cellular adhesion and activation. The HP-3D9 antibody can reportedly inhibit the cytolytic activity of activated NK cells.
