Next Day 2 - 8°C

TCR Vα24-Jα18 antibody, 6B11, recognizes the CDR3 region of the V alpha 24 and J alpha 18 TCR alpha locus (Vα24-Jα18). The Vα24-Jα18 semi-invariant TCR is expressed on a highly conserved T cell subset, named invariant natural killer T (iNKT cells), which also express NK cell-associated molecules. The Vα24-Jα18 TCR recognizes lipid antigens, such as α-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer), presented by the MHC class I-like molecule CD1d1. Following activation, iNKT cells rapidly proliferate and produce large amounts of IL-4, IFNγ, and cytolytic mediators2, 3. iNKT cells have both inflammatory and immunoregulatory functions and are implicated in anti-tumor immunity, protection against infections, suppression of autoimmunity, and the development of inflammatory diseases4.

To protect mouse colonies from infection by pathogens and to assure that experimental preclinical data is not affected by such pathogens, all of Leinco’s Purified Functional PLATINUM^TM antibodies are tested and guaranteed to be negative for all pathogens in the IDEXX IMPACT I Mouse Profile.

Functional grade preclinical antibodies are manufactured in an animal free facility using only In vitro protein free cell culture techniques and are purified by a multi-step process including the use of protein A or G to assure extremely low levels of endotoxins, leachable protein A or aggregates.

Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications. See directions on lot specific datasheets, as information may periodically change.
