Flow cytometric analysis of human CD158bj expression on human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Human peripheral blood lymphocytes were stained with PE Mouse Anti-Human CD56 Antibody and either Biotin Mouse IgG2a, κ Isotype Control (left panel) or SDT Biotin Mouse Anti-Human CD158bj Antibody (right panel) at 5 μl/test followed by Sav-iFluor 488. Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using Agilent NovoCyte Quanteon and FlowJo™ software.

Background
CD158b/j, also known as KIR2DL2/L3/S2, is a member of the killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) family and belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. It is a type I membrane glycoprotein with two immunoglobulin C2-type domains. CD158b/j is expressed on natural killer (NK) cells and a subset of T cells. These receptors play a crucial role in modulating the immune response by interacting with specific HLA-C antigens on target cells, thereby inhibiting the cytotoxic functions of NK and T cells. The expression of CD158b/j on T cells increases with age, particularly in CD8 T cells, due to epigenetic changes such as DNA demethylation. This age-related expression pattern may contribute to the immune senescence observed in older individuals.
