CD160 Protein, Rhesus macaque (HEK293, His)

CD160 Protein, Rhesus macaque (HEK293, His) is a recombinant rhesus macaque CD160 expressed in HEK 293 cells with a His tag at the N-terminus. CD160 Protein binds weakly to MHC I and stimulates NK and CD8⁺ T‐cell activation^[1][2].

CD160, a 27 kDa glycoprotein, is a member of the immunoglobulin 'superfamily' of proteins. CD160 was initially identified with the monoclonal antibody BY55. CD160 is reported to be expressed by NK cells, NKT cells, intraepithelial T cells, γδ TCR⁺ T cells, and memory-phenotype, activated and effector CD8⁺ T cells. CD160 binds weakly to MHC I and stimulates NK and CD8⁺ T‐cell activation. CD160 also can act as a marker for cytolytic or exhausted CD8⁺ T cells^[1][2].
