CD1a antibody (PE)

Catalog No. ABIN238416

Product Details anti-CD1a Antibody (PE)

Target: CD1a

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This CD1a antibody is conjugated to PE

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS)

Specificity: The antibody HI149 reacts with CD1a (T6), a 49 KDa polypeptide associated with β2-microglobulin expressed on cortical thymocytes (strongly), Langerhans cells, dendritic cells and some T cell leukemias and lymphomas. The antibody does not react with peripheral blood T and B lymphocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, platelets and erythrocytes.

Purification: Size-exclusion chromatography.

Immunogen: Human thymocytes.

Clone: HI149

Isotype: IgG1

Target Details for CD1a

Target: CD1a

Alternative Name: CD1a (CD1a Products)

Background: CD1a, together with CD1b and c, belongs to group 1 of CD1 glycoproteins. These proteins serve as antigen-presenting molecules for a subset of T cells that responds to specific lipids and glycolipids found in the cell walls of bacterial pathogens or self-glycolipid antigens such as gangliosides, and they have also roles in antiviral immunity. Unlike CD1b, CD1a is excluded from late endosomal compartments and instead traffics independently in the recycling pathway of the early endocytic system, and CD1a antigen presentation is independent upon vesicular acidification.Synonyms: T-cell surface antigen T6/Leu-6, T-cell surface glycoprotein CD1a, T6/Leu-6, hTa1, hTa1 thymocyte antigen
