Product Type
CD1
Description
OCH, an a-galactosylceramide analogue with a truncated side chain, stimulates Th2-biased cytokine production in natural killer T cells. Through a collaboration with Dr. Paul Savage at Brigham Young University, the NIH Tetramer Facility is providing mouse and human CD1d monomers and tetramers loaded with OCH.

OCH loaded CD1d tetramers identify NKT cells, but it has been noted that they do not stain as well as PBS-57 loaded CD1d tetramers.

Premade CD1

Please note, an unloaded CD1d negative control reagent will be added to all CD1d orders.

The standard CD1d ligand for detection of iNKT cells is PBS-57.

Each unit of quantity contains 200 µg of MHC protein.

The Tetramer Resource Committee (TRC) meets approximately every other Friday to review tetramer requests. Requests must be received before 12 noon EST three days before a scheduled TRC meeting in order to be considered. View TRC Schedule
