beta-2 Microglobulin antibody

Catalog No. ABIN93903

Product Details anti-beta-2 Microglobulin Antibody

Target: beta-2 Microglobulin (B2M) (beta-2-Microglobulin (B2M))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This beta-2 Microglobulin antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Flow Cytometry (FACS), ELISA, Immunoprecipitation (IP), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p)), Immunocytochemistry (ICC), Radioimmunoassay (RIA)

Specificity: The mouse monoclonal antibody B2M-01 reacts with beta2-microglobulin (beta2M, extracellular antigen), associated with cell-surface MHC Class I molecules and other membrane antigens, as well as it reacts with soluble beta2-microglobulin. Beta2M is a 12 kDa Ig like glycoprotein expressed on lymphocytes, thymocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, platelets, endothelial cells and epithelial cells. It is absent on erythrocytes.

No Cross-Reactivity: Chicken, Cow, Dog, Mouse, Rabbit

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Human

Purification: Purified by protein-A affinity chromatography.

Purity: > 95 % (by SDS-PAGE)

Immunogen: Purified human beta2-microglobulin

Clone: B2M-01

Isotype: IgG2a

Application Details

Application Notes: Western blotting: Recommended dilution: 2-4 μg/mL, positive control: U937 human histiocytic lymphoma cell line, RAJI human Burkitt lymphoma cell line, negative control: EL4 mouse lymphoblastic lymphoma cell line, both reducing and non-reducing conditions.
Immunohistochemistry (paraffin sections): Recommended dilution: 10 μg/mL, positive tissue: kidney glomeruli.
Flow cytometry: Recommended dilution: 0.5-4 μg/mL, positive control: peripheral blood lymphocytes, negative control: DAUDI human Burkitt lymphoma cell line, erythrocytes.
ELISA: Working dilution should be determinated by investigator.
RIA: Use at an assay dependent concentration. The dissociation constant of the antibody soluble beta2-microglobulin is 1.5 x 10^-8 mol/l as determined by competitive RIA.
Immunoprecipitation: The antibody B2M-01 coprecipitates beta2-microglobulin (12 kDa) and HLA antigens (45 kDa) from the lysates of human lymphoid cells.

Background: Beta-2-microglobulin,Beta2-microglobulin non-covalently associates with the 44 kDa alpha chain to forms the HLA Class I antigen complex. Human beta2-microglobulin associated with HLA Class I antigens is expressed on many types of cells including lymphocytes, thymocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, platelets, endothelial cells, and epithelial cells. It is absent on erythrocytes.,B2M
