ARG65834
anti-HLA ABC antibody [W6/32] (FITC)
anti-HLA ABC antibody [W6/32] (FITC) for Flow cytometry and Human,Baboon,Rhesus Monkey
Overview
| Product Description | FITC-conjugated Mouse Monoclonal antibody [W6/32] recognizes HLA ABC |
|---|---|
| Tested Reactivity | Hu, Bb, R. Mk |
| Tested Application | FACS |
| Specificity | The monoclonal antibody reacts with the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I, HLA-A, B, C. MHC class I antigens associated with beta 2-microglobulin are expressed by all human nucleated cells and are central in cell-mediated immune response and tumor surveillance. The monoclonal antibody recognizes a non-polymorphic epitope shared among products of the HLA-A, B, and C loci and immunoprecipitates both 43 kDa and 11-12 kDa chains. Crossreactivity is also seen in baboon, rhesus and cynomolgus monkey. |

Swiss-port # P30443 Human HLA class I histocompatibility antigen, A-1 alpha chain |
|---|---|
| Gene Symbol | HLA-A |
| Gene Full Name | major histocompatibility complex, class I, A |
| Background | HLA-A 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 the endoplasmic reticulum lumen. They are expressed in nearly all cells. The heavy chain is approximately 45 kDa and its gene contains 8 exons. Exon 1 encodes the leader peptide, exons 2 and 3 encode the alpha1 and alpha2 domains, 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. Hundreds of HLA-A alleles have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] |
| Function | Involved in the presentation of foreign antigens to the immune system. [UniProt] |
| Calculated MW | 41 kDa and 11-12 kDa chains |
| PTM | Polyubiquitinated in a post ER compartment by interaction with human herpesvirus 8 MIR1 protein. This targets the protein for rapid degradation via the ubiquitin system (By similarity). |
