Cat. No. | MABL-2371 |
Name | Anti-MHC II mAbs |
Clone No. | AFD- P7/7 |
From | Recombinant Antibody |
Isotype | Engineer antibody |
Application | |
Species Reactivity | Rat, Mouse |
Basic Information | |
Specificity | This antibody recognises the rat RT1Bu/Du MHC class II antigen, and cross-reacts with haplotypes c, d, l and n. This antibody stains MHC class II molecules in a number of rat strains, including PVG, F334, LEW, and BN. However, this antibody is not reactive with RT1a haplotype rats, including Wistar rats. This antibody also cross-reacts with murine I-A and I-E molecules of all haplotypes tested, including H- 2b, d, f and k, so can be used in all mouse strains. |
Alternative Name | P7.7; I-A; Ia; I-E; MHC-II; MHC Class II |
UniProt | |
Immunogen | This antibody was raised by immunising DA rats with PVG.R8 rat spleen cells. Splenocytes from immunised rats were then isolated, and fused to the myeloma line NSO/u to generate stable hybridomas. |
Application Notes | This antibody reacts with murine MHC class II I-A and I-E molecules, as confirmed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of Ia immunoprecipitates from metabolically labelled murine lymphoma cells (Momburg et al, 1986). Cross-blocking studies with anti-Ia β-chain MAbs indicate that P7/7 binds to the β-chain of murine Ia (Momburg et al, 1986). This antibody has been used to stain acetone-fixed mouse pancreas sections to study lymphocyte infiltration (Signore et al, 1987; Signore et al, 1989) and ethanol- fixed mouse brain sections (McMenamin et al, 1998). In flow cytometric analysis, this antibody has been employed to identify MHC class II-expressing murine cells (Hayball & Lake, 2004; Heath et al, 1991), and to analyse the surface phenotype of murine N9 microglial cells (Dimayuga et al, 2005). |
