Cytek 16-Color NK Cell Immunoprofiling Panel

The Cytek 16-Color NK Cell Immunoprofiling Panel is designed and optimised by Cytek scientists to identify the three major human NK cell subsets; define the functional status within the three major subsets; and identify additional NK cell subsets.

The product comprises the Cytek 16-Color NK Cell Immunoprofiling Panel, cFluor Reagent Kit (15C); as well as the CD69 Monoclonal Antibody (FN50), Super Bright 436, eBioscience. The panel has been optimised for analysing human PBMCs and whole blood on Cytek’s Northern Lights or Cytek Aurora systems equipped with violet, blue and red lasers.

The product enables the identification and characterisation of the three major human NK cell subsets (CD16^-CD56^bright, CD16⁺CD56^dim and CD16⁺CD56^-) in human PBMCs and whole blood. The reagents in the kit also support analysis of the maturation and activation status, migratory potential, and presence of NK activating and inhibitory receptors on the three major human NK cell subsets, as well as identifying additional subsets. Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) can be distinguished from NK cells by excluding the CD127⁺HLA^-DR^- population or characterised by analysing the CD127⁺HLA^-DR^- population.
