Description
The CD1d42 monoclonal antibody recognizes CD1d. Cell surface CD1d is structurally homologous to Class I MHC molecules. It consists of a glycosylated type I transmembrane α chain (43-49 kDa) that is non-covalently associated with β2-microglobulin. CD1d is a member of the CD1 family of molecules, which belong to the immunoglobulin superfamily. Sequence homology data classifies the CD1 molecules into two groups. Group 1 includes CD1a, CD1b and CD1c molecules; group 2 includes CD1d molecules and their homologs in other species. CD1d is expressed on cortical thymocytes, B cells, dendritic cells, monocytes, and some nonlymphoid cells including intestinal epithelial cells, hepatocytes and keratinocytes. It is not expressed on resting mature T cells. Studies suggest that CD1d participates in lipid antigen presentation to CD1d-restricted NKT cells.
Put all BD® AbSeq Reagents to be pooled into a Latch Rack for 500 µL Tubes (Thermo Fisher Scientific Cat. No. 4900). Arrange the tubes so that they can be easily uncapped and re-capped with an 8-Channel Screw Cap Tube Capper (Thermo Fisher Scientific Cat. No. 4105MAT) and the reagents aliquoted with a multi-channel pipette. BD® AbSeq tubes should be centrifuged for ≥ 30 seconds at 400 × g to ensure removal of any content in the cap/tube threads prior to the first opening.
Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography and conjugated to BD® AbSeq oligonucleotide under optimal conditions.
1. This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended volume per test. Typical use is 2 µl for 1 × 10^6 cells in a 200-µl staining reaction.
2. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
3. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
4. The production process underwent stringent testing and validation to assure that it generates a high-quality conjugate with consistent performance and specific binding activity. However, verification testing has not been performed on all conjugate lots.
