Mouse anti-Human HLA Class I Antibody | anti-HLA-C antibody

Anti-HLA Class I PE

Cat. Num. AAA1801032

• Gene Names: HLA-C; MHC; HLAC; HLC-C; D6S204; PSORS1; HLA-JY3
• Reactivity: Human
• Applications: Flow Cytometry, Functional Assay
• Purity: The purified antibody is conjugated with R-phycoerythrin (PE) under optimum conditions. The conjugate is purified by size-exclusion chromatography.
• Synonyms: HLA Class I; Anti-HLA Class I PE; anti-HLA-C antibody

• Host: Mouse
• Reactivity: Human
• Isotype: IgG1
• Clone Number: MEM-147
• Specificity: The antibody MEM-147 reacts with an extracellular epitope of all human classical MHC Class I molecules in native cell-surface forms (e.g. it recognizes native HLA-A2 in cytofluorometry and immunoprecipitation but not in Western blotting). MHC Class I molecules (MHC Class Ia) are expressed on the surface of all human nucleated cell types. The antibody MEM-147 is positive in Western blotting (non-reducing conditions) only with most HLA-B and HLA-C molecules, but not HLA-A. Reactivity is very similar to the classical antibody W6/32.
• Purity/Purification: The purified antibody is conjugated with R-phycoerythrin (PE) under optimum conditions. The conjugate is purified by size-exclusion chromatography.
• Form/Format: Stabilizing phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution containing 15 mM sodium azide
• Concentration: 0.1 mg/ml (varies by lot)
• Sequence Length: 298

• Applicable Applications for anti-HLA-C antibody: Flow Cytometry (FC/FACS)
• Application Notes: FC/FACS: QC tested
• Immunogen: PHA-activated peripheral blood lymphocytes
• Conjugation: PE
• Preparation and Storage: Store in the dark at 2-8 degree C. Do not freeze. Avoid prolonged exposure to light.

Related Product Information for anti-HLA-C antibody

HLA-class I major histocompatibility (MHC) antigens are intrinsic membrane glycoproteins expressed on nucleated cells and noncovalently associated with an invariant beta2 microglobulin. They carry foreign determinants important for immune recognition by cytotoxic T cells, thus important for anti-viral and anti-tumour defence. Human HLA-class I antigens are represented by HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-C molecules.

NCBI Description

HLA-C belongs to the HLA class I heavy chain paralogues. This class I molecule is a heterodimer consisting of a heavy chain and a light chain (beta-2 microglobulin). The heavy chain is anchored in the membrane. Class I molecules play a central role in the immune system by presenting peptides derived from endoplasmic reticulum lumen. They are expressed in nearly all cells. The heavy chain is approximately 45 kDa and its gene contains 8 exons. Exon one encodes the leader peptide, exons 2 and 3 encode the alpha1 and alpha2 domain, which both bind the peptide, exon 4 encodes the alpha3 domain, exon 5 encodes the transmembrane region, and exons 6 and 7 encode the cytoplasmic tail. Polymorphisms within exon 2 and exon 3 are responsible for the peptide binding specificity of each class one molecule. Typing for these polymorphisms is routinely done for bone marrow and kidney transplantation. Over one hundred HLA-C alleles have been described [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
