CD1d (Antigen-presenting Glycoprotein CD1d, R3G1, CD1D) (PE)

CD1d is a MHC-like, type I transmembrane protein, member of the CD1 family and the immunoglobulin superfamily. On the cell surface, CD1d forms a heterodimer with B2-microglobulin. CD1d is expressed by antigen-presenting cells such as B cells, monocytes/macrophages, dendritic cells, and some non-lymphoid cells. Cortical thymocytes express CD1d but the expression is lost in mature T cells. CD1d presents lipid antigens to iNKT cells analogous to MHC molecule presentation of peptides to T cells. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal...
