Department website: website: Ferraride de Andrade Laboratory is seeking highly motivated postdocs to lead the CD16a project Natural killer (NK) cells perform antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) following CD16a engagement. However CD16a can be shed from the cell surface prior engagement. We therefore generated a novel antibody that inhibits CD16a shedding to test the hypothesis that CD16a shedding is a homeostatic mechanism of immune regulation.
