PE/Cyanine7 Anti-Mouse CD1d Antibody[20H2]

CD1d, also known as CD1.1 and Ly-38, is a 48 kD type I membrane glycoprotein that is structurally similar to MHC class I and is non-covalently associated with β2-microglobulin. In humans, the CD1 family consists of group I (CD1a, CD1b, and CD1c), group II (CD1d), and group III (CD1e) proteins, but CD1d is the only CD1 molecule found in mice. Mouse CD1d has broad tissue distribution, and is found on leukocytes, dendritic cells, epithelial cells, and thymocytes. CD1d plays a role in presenting non-peptide glycolipid antigens to CD1d-restricted T cells, and PKCδ has been identified as a critical regulator of CD1d-mediated antigen presentation.
