Abstract
Immune checkpoint molecules have received attention as targets of cancer immunotherapy. Killer cell lectin-like receptor subfamily G member 1 (KLRG1) is one of the immune checkpoint molecules expressed in CD4+ T, CD8+ T, and natural killer (NK) cells. KLRG1 exhibits antiviral and antitumor immunity, and its expression in T and NK cells is upregulated by viral infectious diseases and some tumors. Thus, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for KLRG1 would be useful tools for the diagnosis and immunotherapy against viral infectious diseases and cancers. We have developed anti-human KLRG1 (hKLRG1) mAb (clone KLMab-1, mouse IgG1, kappa) by the Cell-Based Immunization and Screening method. We have also demonstrated that KLMab-1 recognizes both exogenous and endogenous hKLRG1 in flow cytometry. In this study, we first showed that KLMab-1 and its recombinant mAb (recKLMab-1) bound to exogenous hKLRG1 overexpressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K1 cells, but not in parental CHO-K1 cells, in immunocytochemistry. We next showed that both mAbs detected endogenous hKLRG1 expressed in human NK cells. These results demonstrate that KLMab-1 and recKLMab-1 are available for immunocytochemistry.
