Specific Information

Description: This L363 monoclonal antibody reacts with alpha-galactosylceramide bound to the mouse MHC class I-like protein CD1d. This complex is recognized by invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells, a subset of T lymphocytes that expresses the invariant TCR alpha chain Valpha14Jalpha18. Activation of iNKT cells leads to production of Th1 and Th2-associated cytokines as well as dendritic cell maturation.

The L363 antibody has been reported to neutralize iNKT cell activation by alpha-galactosylceramide:CD1d complexes.

Applications Reported: This L363 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.

Applications Tested: This L363 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of alpha-galactosylceramide-loaded mouse CD1d-transfected cells. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.25 µg per test. A test is defined as the amount (µg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 µL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.

Excitation: 488-561 nm; Emission: 578 nm; Laser: Blue Laser, Green Laser, Yellow-Green Laser.

Filtration: 0.2 µm post-manufacturing filtered.
