MHC Class II antibody (Biotin)

Catalog No. ABIN7505997

Product Details anti-MHC Class II Antibody (Biotin)

Target: MHC Class II (MHC2) (Major Histocompatibility Complex Class II Antigen (MHC2))

Reactivity: Mouse

Host: Rat

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This MHC Class II antibody is conjugated to Biotin

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS), Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (Frozen Sections) (IHC (fro)), Immunoprecipitation (IP), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))

Purpose: Anti-Ms MHC Class II Biotin

Specificity: The rat monoclonal antibody M5/114 reacts with murine MHC class II glycoproteins. It recognizes a shared extracellular determinant on I-Ab, I-Ad, I-Aq, and I-Ed, I-Ek alloantigens, but it does not react with I-Af, I-Ak, I-As. This antibody can inhibit I-A-restricted T cell responses of the H-2b, H-2d, H-2q, H-2u but not H-2f, H-2k, H-2s haplotypes.

Purification: Purified antibody is conjugated with biotin LC-NHS ester under optimum conditions and unconjugated antibody and free biotin are removed by size-exclusion chromatography.

Background: MHC (major histocompatibility complex) class II molecules are transmembrane glycoproteins expressed on the surface of professional antigen-presenting cells, such as macrophages, dendritic cells and B cells. Before their exposition on the cell surface, the MHC class II molecules react with endocytosed exogenous antigens, which are then presented to the T cells. The antigen-binding grove between MHC class II alpha and beta chain is open at both ends and is 15-24 amino acid residues long.
