Invitrogen™ CD1d Monoclonal Antibody (1B1), eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Rat Monoclonal Antibody

Description: The 1B1 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse CD1d, a 48 kDa glycoprotein with structural homology to MHC class I molecules. While similar to MHC Class I, CD1d associates with beta2m, functionally CD1d is similar to MHC Class II. 1B1 detects CD1d at varying levels on mouse leukocytes. 1B1 detects beta2m associated CD1d. Applications Reported: The 1B1 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis, immunoprecipitation, and immunohistochemical staining. 1B1 has also been reported in in vivo and in vitro studies. (Please use Functional Grade purified 1B1, cat. 16-0011, in functional assays.). Applications Tested: The 1B1 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse splenocytes. This can be used at less than or equal to 1 μg per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest. Purity: Greater than 90%, as determined by SDS-PAGE. Aggregation: Less than 10%, as determined by HPLC. Filtration: 0.2 μm post-manufacturing filtered.
