Chicken/Pigeon/Caiman MHC Class II β-chain, Mr 30-42 kDa
Characteristics
Mouse Anti-Chicken MHC Class II-PE
Purification
The antibody is affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide. The antibody against non-phosphopeptide is removed by chromatogramphy using non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphorylation site.

Target
MHC Class II (MHC2)
(Major Histocompatibility Complex Class II Antigen (MHC2))
The chicken major histocompatibility complex (MHC), or B complex, consists of several clusters of highly polymorphic genes. Like their mammalian counterparts, the avian MHC exerts genetic influence over a variety of important biological functions such as immune response, disease resistance, growth and development, aging, and reproduction. Chicken MHC Class II genes, also known as the B-L subregion, of the chicken MHC encode cell surface glycoproteins that are homologous to mammalian Class II antigens. B-L antigens structurally are similar to mammalian Class II molecules in that they are noncovalently bound dimmers of one 32-34 kDa heavy chain and one 27-30 kDa light chain. MHC Class II is primarily expressed on B cells and antigen presenting cells (APCs).
