TCR V Alpha24-J Alpha18 antibody (PE)

Catalog No. ABIN7540468

Product Details

Target: TCR V Alpha24-J Alpha18

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: PE

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS)

Purpose: Anti-Hu TCR Valpha24-Jalpha18 PE

Specificity: The mouse monoclonal antibody 6B11 recognizes an extracellular epitope within V alpha 24 J alpha 18 TCR, which is expressed by invariant NK T cells (iNKT).

Purification: Purified antibody is conjugated with R-phycoerythrin (PE) under optimum conditions. Unconjugated antibody and free fluorochrome are removed by size-exclusion chromatography.

Clone: 6B11

Isotype: IgG1 kappa

Alternative Name: TCR Valpha24-Jalpha18

Background: TCR alpha V24-J18 chain is a marker of invariant NK T cells (iNKT). This chain pairs mostly with TCR beta V11 chain, and together they interact with glycolipide-loaded CD1d. This interaction results in iNKT activation and cytokine production (IFN gamma, IL-4, IL-13), which takes important part in immune regulation and host response to pathogens and cancer(support of both Th1 and Th2 way), although iNKT cells represent less than 1 % of total peripheral T cells.
