CD1d Rat anti-Mouse, Brilliant Violet 605, Clone: 1B1, BD Optibuild™

Beschreibung

The 1B1 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to mouse CD1d, a 48-kDa glycoprotein with structural homology to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules. The structure, expression, and functions of CD1 antigens are complex and have been reviewed. MAb 1B1 detects CD1d at varying levels on most types of bone marrow and peripheral leukocytes and on epithelial, dendritic, and lymphoid cells in the thymus. It appears to recognize CD1d only in association with β 2m. CD1d has been reported to be expressed by gastrointestinal tract epithelium and in the cytoplasm of hepatocytes via immunohistochemical staining of frozen sections with mAb 3C11 (Cat. No. 559871, for the purified antibody), suggesting a possible role for CD1d in mucosal immunity. However, CD1d expression was not detectable via flow cytometry on intestinal epithelial cells in studies using the anti-CD1d mAbs 3C11, 1B1, and 9C7. The 1B1 antibody competes with mAb 3C11 in binding to mouse splenocytes.

This antibody is conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV605 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. With an Ex Max of 407-nm and Em Max of 602-nm, BD Horizon BV605 can be excited by a violet laser and detected with a standard 610/20-nm filter set. BD Horizon BV605 is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BV421 and an acceptor dye with an Em max at 605-nm. Due to the excitation of the acceptor dye by the green (532 nm) and yellow-green (561 nm) lasers, there will be significant spillover into the PE and BD Horizon PE-CF594 detectors off the green or yellow-green lasers. BD Horizon BV605 conjugates are very bright, often exhibiting brightness equivalent to PE conjugates and can be used as a third color off of the violet laser.
