ZooMAb^® antibodies represent an entirely new generation of recombinant monoclonal antibodies. Each ZooMAb^® antibody is manufactured using our proprietary recombinant expression system, purified to homogeneity, and precisely dispensed to produce robust and highly reproducible lot-to-lot consistency. Only top-performing clones are released for use by researchers. Each antibody is validated for high specificity and affinity across multiple applications, including its most commonly used application. ZooMAb^® antibodies are reliably available and ready to ship when you need them.

Clone 51.1 is a ZooMAb^® mouse recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects CD1d. It targets an epitope within the extracellular domain.

Fc-fusion protein of Human CD1d, expressed in Murine NSO cells.

Quality Control Testing

Evaluated by Flow Cytometry in Jurkat cells.

Flow Cytometry Analysis: 1 µg of this antibody detected CD1d in one million Jurkat cells.

Tested Applications

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected CD1d in Jurkat cells.

Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user as specimens, and experimental conditions may vary with the end user.

Antigen-presenting glycoprotein CD1d (UniProt: P15813; also known as R3G1, CD1d) is encoded by the CD1D gene (Gene ID: 912) in human. Cd1d is a single-pass type 1 membrane glycoprotein, which is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-19), which is subsequently cleaved off to produce the mature form that contains an extracellular domain (aa 20-301), a transmembrane domain (aa 302-322), and a short cytoplasmic domain (aa 323-335). It is expressed at high levels by human cortical thymocytes, and its expression is also observed on certain T cell leukemias. It serves as a key antigen-presenting molecule involved in the selection and activation of NK cells. It is a major-histocompatibility-complex (MHC) class-I-like molecule that presents self-lipid and non-self-lipid antigens to invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells. Following engagement of the invariant T cell receptor (iTCR) by CD1d lipid complexes, iNKT cells proliferate, produce cytokines, and become cytotoxic, regulating innate and adaptive immune responses. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Purified recombinant mouse monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 µL.

300 µg/mL after reconstitution at 25 µL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 µL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
