CD1
Description
PBS-57 is an analogue of a-galactosylceramide developed by Dr. Paul Savage and colleagues. Three independent laboratories have shown that PBS-57 activity is indistinguishable from a-galactosylceramide. The NIH Tetramer Facility provides PBS-57 ligand complexed to CD1d monomers or tetramers. This is the recommended reagent for detection of NKT cells.
