From
Recombinant Antibody
Specificity
This antibody is specific for murine MHC class I, and binds to polymorphic H-2 determinants expressed on most haplotypes. This antibody is, therefore, able to bind all H-2 class I molecules, independent of the allele. This antibody inhibits the binding of most mouse anti-H-2 antibodies to H-2k cells.
Alternative Names
R1.21.2; H-2; MHC-I; MHC Class I
UniProt
Immunogen
This antibody was raised by immunising Lewis 1F rats with mouse CH-1 lymphoma cells. Spleen cells from immunised rats were fused with X-63Ag8-653 myeloma cells to generate hybridomas.
Application Notes
This antibody binds murine H-2 MHC class I molecules, and has been used in both structural and biochemical studies. It has been employed to assess MHC class I expression in frozen, acetone-fixed mouse brain sections by immunohistochemistry (Miralvès et al, 2007), and to stain paraffin- embedded sections of mouse liver for H-2Kb expression (Limmer et al, 2005). It has also been used to precipitate mouse H-2Kk and H-2Dk class I molecules from detergent lysates of Ltk3.3/1 cells (Rada et al, 1990), and to stain H-2Kb and H-2Kk-expressing cells in FACS analysis (Bendelac, 1995). Cellular radioimmune assays have been used to confirm the binding of this antibody to spleen cells, and assess its strain specificity (Koch et al, 1983).
