Immunohistochemical studies for CD1a antigen have reported a reduction in epidermal Langerhans cells in graft versus host disease and the participation of CD1a antigen-positive dendritic cells in atherosclerotic lesion formation and asthmatic inflammation.Product Specific InformationClone MTB1 detects cortical thymocytes, Langerhans cells in epidermis, interdigitating cells of dermis and interdigitating cells of stratified squamous epithelium of tonsil. Clone MTB1 may also detect small focal groups of lymphocytes outside the germinal centers of tonsil indicating a cross-reaction with CD1b antigen.DisclaimerCD1a is recommended for the detection of specific antigens of interest in normal and neop
