The antibody recognized native surface-expressed HLA-E, but not denaturated heavy chain of HLA-E. The published results showed that the antibody cross-reacts with some classical MHC Class I molecules (HLA-A3, -A11, -B7). However, the recent Workshop I Session on the 3rd International Conference on HLA-G (Paris, July 2003) confirmed that the antibody exhibits much broader cross-reactivity classical MHC Class I antigens, namely with HLA-A24, -A32, -B8, -B15, -B27, -B35, -B44, -B54, -C3, -C4, -C5, -C7.
