Additional info: CD1b (also known as R1) together with CD1a and c, belongs to group 1 of CD1 antigens. These non-classical MHC-like glycoproteins serve as antigen-presenting molecules for a subset of T cells that responds to specific lipids and glycolipids found in the cell walls of bacterial pathogens or self-glycolipid antigens such as gangliosides, and they have also roles in antiviral immunity. The trafficking routes of the particular CD1 types differ and correspond to their ability to bind and present different groups of antigens. Besides non-peptide glycolipid antigen presentation to CD1-restricted T cells, CD1b has been implicated in thymocyte development.SpecificityThe mouse monoclonal antibody L161 recognizes an extracellular epitope of CD1c, (R7), a 43 kDa type I glycoprotein associated with beta2-microglobulin. It is expressed on cortical thymocytes (strongly), Langerhans cells, dendritic cells, B and some T cells.Application detailsFlow cytometry: Recommended dilution: 1-4 μg/ml.
