CD1a [clone SP157], anti-human

Description: Cluster of Differentiation 1a (CD1a) is part of a family of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigen-like glycoproteins that associate with beta-2-microglobulin. CD1a binds self and non-self lipid and glycolipid antigens, presenting them to T-cell receptors on natural killer T-cells. CD1a antibody labels cortical thymocytes, Langerhans’ cells and dendritic cells. It has been used to identify Langerhans’ cell histiocytosis and precursor T lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia.Localization: membraneDilution: 25-100Positive Control: thymus, tonsilHIER: citrate PH6.0 or EDTA pH8.0Status: RUO
