Anti-Human HLA-A, B, C (MHC Class I) In Vivo Antibody - Low Endotoxin
Introducing the Anti-Human HLA-A, B, C (MHC Class I) In Vivo Antibody - Low Endotoxin from Assay Genie, a highly specific monoclonal antibody designed for in vivo applications. This antibody targets the HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C proteins, which are crucial components of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) Class I, making it an ideal tool for research in immunology, transplantation, and related fields.
With a mouse IgG2a isotype, this antibody ensures high purity and low endotoxin levels (<1.0 EU/mg), perfect for a variety of assays including ELISA, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, and more. Available in various sizes, it is formulated in phosphate-buffered saline for maximum stability and efficacy. Enhance your research with this reliable and versatile antibody. HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C are glycoproteins found on the surface of almost all nucleated cells. They play a significant role in the immune system by presenting peptide antigens to cytotoxic T-cells, which is crucial for the immune response against intracellular pathogens and the destruction of infected or transformed cells.

HLA antibody, clone W6/32, recognizes the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C. MHC class I is ubiquitously expressed on the cell surface of nucleated cells and consists of a 45-kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein (α-chain or heavy chain) and a 12-kDa soluble protein (β2-microglobulin, β2M)1,2. The α-chain consists of three domains (α1, α2, and α3)3. α1 and α2 form the closed antigen-binding groove and bind to 8-10 aa peptides derived from cytosolic antigens4-6. β2M noncovalently associates with α3, which is essential for MHC stability. MHC class I plays a critical role in the adaptive immune response by presenting endogenous antigens to cytotoxic CD8 T cells. MHC class I molecules can also present exogenous antigens to CD8 T cells via a process known as cross-presentation7. The T cell receptor (TCR)/CD3 complex of CD8 T cells interacts with peptide-MHC class I, which induces CD8 T cell activation and subsequent cell-killing. CD8 molecules also bind to MHC class I, which helps augment TCR signaling8. In contrast to CD8 T cells, MHC class I is an inhibitory ligand for natural killer (NK) cells, promoting self tolerance9. MHC class I also contributes to the positive selection of CD8 T cells and NK cell specificity10,11.
