CD1a Information for Pathologists
Summary:
CD1a is a T cell surface antigen found on subsets of normal T cells. It is important in antigen presentation to dendritic cells, particularly glycolipids and lipopeptide antigens that traffic through early endocytic pathways. CD1a is also referred to as Leu6.
Common Uses By Pathologists:
CD1a immunostaining is used to diagnose Langerhans cell histiocytosis and to exclude other entities that are CD1a negative. It is also a useful means of identifying Langerhans cells in inflammatory or neoplastic disorders.

General Description of CD1a . | |
This antibody reacts with a 49 kDa protein. At least five CD1 genes are identified (CD1a, b, c, d and e). This antibody reacts with cortical thymocytes, Langerhans cells in epidermis, dendritic cells of dermis and Langerhans cells of mucosa of tonsil. This antibody may be useful in the characterization of leukemias and lymphomas. |
