TCR Vα24-Jα18 antibody, 6B11, recognizes the CDR3 region of the V alpha 24 and J alpha 18 TCR alpha locus (Vα24-Jα18). The Vα24-Jα18 semi-invariant TCR is expressed on a highly conserved T cell subset, named invariant natural killer T (iNKT cells), which also express NK cell-associated molecules. The Vα24-Jα18 TCR recognizes lipid antigens, such as α-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer), presented by the MHC class I-like molecule CD1d1. Following activation, iNKT cells rapidly proliferate and produce large amounts of IL-4, IFNγ, and cytolytic mediators2,3. iNKT cells have both inflammatory and immunoregulatory functions and are implicated in anti-tumor immunity, protection against infections, suppression of autoimmunity, and the development of inflammatory diseases4.
