CD1a, a member of the CD1 antigen family, is a non-polymorphic MHC class I-related cell surface glycoprotein expressed in association with β2-microglobulin. Langerhans' cells, interdigitating dendritic cells and medullary thymocytes in thymic medulla are labeled by anti-CD1a. This antibody is a useful aid for classification of thymomas and malignancies of T-cell precursors.

Specificity
Anti-Human CD1a, clone O10, was clustered as anti-CD1a at the 4th International Workshop and Conference on Human Leucocyte Differentiation Antigens (2). Clone O10 has been shown to immunoprecipitate labeled CD1a from thymus cell lysate and from Langerhans' cell-enriched epidermal cell lysate (2). In the latter, the antibody strongly precipitated the native CD1a molecule (49 kDa molecular weight) and ß2.-microglobulin (12 kDa molecular weight) but not the trypsin-cleaved CD1a molecule (27 kDa molecular weight) (2). In IHC, the antibody has been demonstrated to react with the CD1a cell surface glycoprotein expressed on cortical thymocytes, Langerhans' cells, and interdigitating dendritic (reticulum) cells in frozen and formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues (1, 2).
