We infected B6 mice with Mouse Cetamegalovirus and used the anti-KLRG1 antibody to analyze the Natural Killer cells in the infected mice's blood using FACS analysis. We did this to detect if they had been successfully infected because it is well known that KLRG1 expression is up-regulated on NK cells during MCMV infection.

Summary

The Good

The results were specific and reproducible.

The Bad

Only useful for FACS.

The Bottom Line

Although we did have to use a low dilution for the antibody, it revealed a very clear signal. I would definitely recommend.
