MHC I(108-2C5) , CF568 conjugate , 0.1mg / mL

HLA-A , with HLA-B and HLA-C , belongs to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I antigens and expresses constitutively on all nucleated cells. MHC class I antigens play a role in class I MHC-associated antigen presentation , inhibition of NK cell cytotoxicity , tumor surveillance , and tissue allotransplantation. This MAb is useful for HLA molecular typing of peripheral blood leukocytes as well as a large number of leukemic cell lines. It reacts with an intralocus determinant present on a limited number of HLA-A locus-encoded gene products (HLA-A2 , -A3 , -A28 , -A29 , -A30 , -A31 and -Aw33). Its epitope maps between aa65-to-aa80 of thealpha1 domain of the HLA-A. This MAb recognizes an intralocus determinant present on a limited number of HLA-A locus-encoded gene products (HLA-A2 , -A3 , A28 , -A29 , -A30 , -A31 and -Aw33). Furthermore , by testing its reactivity with HLA-A2 natural variants and mutants , the importance of amino acid residues 79 and/or 80 of thealpha1 domain was demonstrated in the formation of an intralocus HLA-A determinant.Primary antibodies are available purified , or with a selection of fluorescent CF® Dyes and other labels. CF® Dyes offer exceptional brightness and photostability. Note: Conjugates of blue fluorescent dyes like CF®405S and CF®405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets , because blue dyes have lower fluorescence and can give higher non-specific background than other dye colors.
