Overview
CS1, also known as novel Ly9, SLAMF7, 19A24 or CRACC, is a homophilic cell surface receptor. It is a member of the SLAM (signaling lymphocytic activation molecule) family of receptors expressed on natural killer (NK) cells, T cells and stimulated B cells. CS1 contains immunoreceptor tyrosine-based switch motifs in its cytoplasmic domain but, unlike other SLAM receptors, it does not recruit SAP (SLAM-associated protein). In humans, CS1 activates NK cells through an EAT-2-mediated pathway that is SAP-independent. CS1 recruits and associates with EAT-2, a protein closely related to SAP. EAT-2 induces phosphorylation of CS1 which then, upon ligand binding, activates downstream cytotoxicity effectors PLC and PI 3K. In mice, the EAT-2 association with CS1 has an inhibitory effect on the activation of NK cells.
This anti-CS1 antibody is supplied as Purified (Mouse, Monoclonal (mouse origin), clone SLAMF7/3649, Mouse IgG1, kappa, Unconjugated) and is designed to support common target-detection workflows after the on-page specifications.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: CS1
- Format: Purified
- Localization: Cytoplasm, cell surface
- Species reactivity: Human
- Applications (listed): IHC-P
- Conjugate: Unconjugated
- Clone and antibody class: Monoclonal (mouse origin), clone SLAMF7/3649, Mouse IgG1, kappa
Because antibody performance can depend on epitope context, sample preparation, and biological state, interpret signals using appropriate controls and orthogonal evidence when possible.
Biological background
CS1 is referenced in public gene/protein resources (e.g., UniProt and NCBI Gene), which provide curated names/synonyms, protein features, and pathway context. When designing assays, consider potential isoforms, post-translational modifications, and cell-type specific expression that may influence observed signal.
Research relevance and current trends
- Profiling CS1 expression across model systems, perturbations, and time points to support mechanistic hypotheses.
- Combining antibody-based detection with multi-omics or imaging readouts to link CS1 signal with phenotype.
- Using well-matched controls (isotype controls, genetic perturbations, or independent reagents) to strengthen interpretation of target-associated signal.
Common research applications
- IHC-P
Use the listed applications as a starting point and tailor experimental design to your sample type and readout requirements.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Specificity considerations: closely related family members, isoforms, or PTMs can affect apparent specificity; confirm with independent approaches when critical.
- Controls: include negative controls and, when feasible, genetic or pharmacologic perturbations to support target attribution in your system.
- Species and sample context: differences in sequence, expression, fixation, or extraction conditions can change signal behavior across models.
