CD1b Antibody (100-1A5) Summary

• Immunogen: Stimulated human leukocytes
• Localization: Cell surface
• Specificity: The mouse monoclonal antibody recognizes CD1b, a 44kDa type I glycoprotein associated with beta2-microglobulin (Workshop IV; Code T015). It is expressed on dendritic cells, Langerhans cells, thymocytes, and T acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells. The CD1 multigene family encodes five forms of the CD1 T-cell surface glycoprotein in human, designated CD1A, 1B, 1C, 1D and 1E. CD1, a type 1 membrane protein, has structural similarity to the MHC class I antigen and has been shown to present lipid antigens for recognition by T lymphocytes. Constitutive endocytosis of CD1B molecules and the differential sorting of MHC class II from lysosomes separate peptide- and lipid antigen-presenting molecules during dendritic cell maturation. CD1B is also expressed in interdigitating cells.

Background

All CD1 molecules, except CD1e, are cell surface glycoproteins that are structurally related to the MHC molecules, however, in distinction, CD1 proteins are essentially non polymorphic. CD1 has considerable structural homology with both MHC class I and class II molecules, and CD1 molecules are involved in T cell activation. In contrast to MHC, however, CD1 molecules appear to present predominantly non peptide molecules originating from lipids and glycolipids.
