Description

The eBioSN13 monoclonal antibody reacts with human CD1b. The CD1 molecules are similar to MHC class I, but rather than presenting peptide antigens to T-cell receptors (TCR), they present a diversity of lipid and glycolipid antigens which are derived from self as well as from mycobacteria which include sphingolipids, mycolic acid derivatives and phosphatidylinositols such as liparabinomannan (LAM) and glucose monomycolate (GMM). CD1b is 45 kDa, and like the other CD1 antigens, is expressed as a heterodimer composed of the CD1b noncovalently paired with β2-microglobulin.

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. This eBioSN13 (SN13 K5-1B8) antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.

Applications Tested

This eBioSN13 (SN13 K5-1B8) antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by flow cytometric analysis of the Molt-4 cell line. This can be used at 20 μl (0.5 μg) per 100 μl blood (or per 1 million cells in 100 μl total staining volume).
