Background
- SLAMF4 Antibody: The signaling lymphocyte-activation molecule family member 4 (SLAMF4), also known as 2B4, is an important regulator of Natural Killer (NK) cell activation. It is expressed on NK cells as well as on subsets of T cells and interacts with SLAMF2, causing the activation of both SLAMF4- and SLAMF2-expressing cells. Patients with systemic lupus erythmatosus have lower than normal levels of SLAMF4 expressed on their NK cells and monocytes, suggesting that SLAMF4 may play a role in this autoimmune disease.
