mouse Anti-CD1a (CD1, CD1A Antigen, Cortical Thymocyte Antigen CD1A, Epidermal Dendritic Cell Marker CD1a, FCB 6, HTA1, T Cell Surface Antigen Leu 6, Cell Surface Antigen T6, T Cell Surface Antigen T6/Leu 6, T Cell Surface Glycoprotein CD1A, T6, Thymocyte Antigen CD1A) (MaxLight 490) Monoclonal Antibody [Clone:3H643 (NA1/34-HLK)]

MaxLight™490 is a new Blue-Green photostable dye conjugate comparable to DyLight™488, Alexa Fluor™488 and offers better labeling efficiency, brighter imaging and increased immunodetection. Absorbance (491nm); Emission (515nm); Extinction Coefficient 73,000.

CD1a is a ~49kDa single pass type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein containing a single Ig-like domain, expressed in association with beta 2 microglobulin. CD1a is expressed strongly by cortical thymocytes, and also by Langerhans cells and interdigitating cells. CD1a is involved in the presentation of lipids and glycolipids to NK cells.
