Immunofluorescence (Immunofluorescent staining of beta 2 Microglobulin antibodyImmunofluorescence microscopy using beta 2 Microglobulin antibody, showing detection of beta 2 microglobulin in HEK 293 cells. Cells were cultured in a six well plate and fixed with 2% paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes, then incubated with primary antibody diluted 1:200 overnight at 4 deg C. Following washing with DPBS, Donkey anti-Rabbit (Alexa Fluor 488) secondary antibody (1:1000) was used. An inverted fluorescence microscope equipped with differential Interference Contrast (DIC) mode was used to capture the image. beta 2 microglobulin, mainly on the cell surface but to some extent cytoplasmic, is stained green. )

Beta2 microglobulin also known as B2M is a component of MHC class I molecules, which are present on all nucleated cells (excludes red blood cells). In humans, the Beta2 microglobulin protein is encoded by the B2M gene.
Biohazard Information
This product contains sodium azide as preservative. Although the amount of sodium azide is very small appropriate care must be taken when handling this product.
Immunogen
Beta 2 microglobulin antibody was raised in rabbit using beta-2-microglobulin from human Urine as the immunogen.
Preparation and Storage
Store at 4 degree C until reconstitution. Following reconstitution aliquot and freeze at -20 degree C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Dilute only prior to immediate use.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes a serum protein found in association with the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I heavy chain on the surface of nearly all nucleated cells. The protein has a predominantly beta-pleated sheet structure that can form amyloid fibrils in some pathological conditions. The encoded antimicrobial protein displays antibacterial activity in amniotic fluid. A mutation in this gene has been shown to result in hypercatabolic hypoproteinemia.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2014]

Uniprot Description

B2M: Component of the class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Involved in the presentation of peptide antigens to the immune system. Heterodimer of an alpha chain and a beta chain. Beta-2- microglobulin is the beta-chain of major histocompatibility complex class I molecules. Polymers of beta 2-microglobulin can be found in tissues from patients on long-term hemodialysis. Belongs to the beta-2-microglobulin family.

Product Notes

The B2M b2m (Catalog #AAA534872) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The beta 2 Microglobulin antibody reacts with Human beta-2-macroglobulin and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's beta 2 Microglobulin can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western Blot (WB). ELISA: 1:2,000-1:10,000 IHC: 1:500-1:2,000 WB: 1:1,000-1:5,000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the B2M b2m for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "beta 2 Microglobulin, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
