Q&As

  1. What is the primary application of the APC-CD1d/α-GalCer MHC Tetramer?

    A: The tetramer is used in flow cytometry to identify and analyze NKT cells that specifically recognize α-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer) presented by CD1d molecules. It is instrumental in studying immune responses, particularly in autoimmune and cancer research.

  2. What storage conditions are recommended for maintaining tetramer functionality?

    A: Store the tetramer at 4°C, and avoid freeze-thaw cycles to preserve its performance. When needed for long-term use, it's advisable to aliquot to pQAent repeated freezing and thawing, ensuring consistent and reliable experimental results.
