beta-2 Microglobulin antibody (FITC)

Catalog No. ABIN93905

Product Details anti-beta-2 Microglobulin Antibody (FITC)

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

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This beta-2 Microglobulin antibody is conjugated to FITC

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS)

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 antibody is conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) under optimum conditions and unconjugated antibody and free fluorochrome are removed by size-exclusion chromatography.

Immunogen: Purified human beta2-microglobulin

Clone: B2M-01

Isotype: IgG2a

Application Details

Application Notes: Flow cytometry: Recommended dilution: 1 μg/mL, positive control: peripheral blood lymphocytes, negative control: DAUDI human Burkitt lymphoma cell line, erythrocytes.

Comment:

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
