Anti-R7 antibodies are used in antigen-specific immunodetection in biological samples. The target R7 is a known alias name of the protein CD1c molecule, encoded by the CD1C gene in humans. This 333-amino acid residue protein is reported to be an antigen-presenting protein that binds self and non-self lipid and glycolipid antigens and presents them to T-cell receptors on natural killer T-cells. It is localized to the lysosomes and cell membrane of the cell and features glycosylated post-translational modifications. In terms of tissue expression, it is noted to be expressed on cortical thymocytes, on certain T-cell leukemias, and in various other tissues. Other synonyms for R7 include BDCA1, CD1, and CD1A. Indicated applications for R7 antibodies listed below include ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Western Blot, Immunofluorescence, Immunoprecipitation, and Immunohistochemistry.
