MHC Class II I-Ab Rat Monoclonal Antibody [Clone ID: NIMR-4]

Specifications

Product Data
Clone Name	NIMR-4
Applications	FC
Recommend Dilution	Flow Cytometry: < / = 1 µg/10e6 cells.
Reactivity	Mouse
Host	Rat
Clonality	Monoclonal
Specificity	Specific to MHC Class II molecules. This antibody reacts specifically with a non-polymorphic I-A-encoded epitope on MHC Class II antigens. Class II antigens are predominantly expressed on antigen-presenting cells including B lymphocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells and certain epithelial cells.
Formulation	PBS containing 0.09% Sodium Azide as preservative. Label: Biotin State: Liquid purified Ig fraction.
Concentration	lot specific
Conjugation	Biotin
Storage Condition	Store the antibody undiluted at 2-8°C for one month or in (aliquots) at -20°C for longer. This product is photosensitive and should be protected from light. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Database Link	UniProt ID P18468
Background	MHC Class II antigens are heterodimers consisting of one alpha chain(31-34kD) and one beta chain (26-29kD). The family of monoclonal antibodies (ER-TR 3, ER-TR 2, ER-TR 1) detect MHC class II antigens encoded by the murine Ia region of the H-2 complex, corresponding to the human HLA-DR region. MHC Class II antigens are a valuable tool for studying T helper cell interaction with class II positive antigen presenting cells (dendritic cells, B cells, macrophages) and offer new possibilities for studying the development of T helper cells since these antibodies also stain stromal cells in the thymus. MHC Class II antigens are also inducible on a number of other cells (endothelium and epithelial cells) by interferon gamma.
Synonyms	H2-Eb1, H-2 class II histocompatibility antigen I-A beta chain
