| Key features and details | |
| Cat. No. | MABL-2372 | 
| Name | Anti-MHC II mAbs | 
| Clone No. | AFD- YKIX 334.2 | 
| From | Recombinant Antibody | 
| Isotype | Engineer antibody | 
| Application | IP, Block, FC, IHC | 
| Species Reactivity | Dog | 
| Basic Information | |
| Specificity | YKIX 334.2 binds specifically to the MHC II beta chain. In dogs, MHC Class II is expressed on the surface of all peripheral blood mononuclear cells where it has a central role in the immune system by presenting peptides derived from extracellular proteins. Class II molecules are expressed in antigen presenting cells (B lymphocytes, dendritic cells, macrophages). | 
| Alternative Name | MHC class 2; MHC class II; MHC 2; HLA Class II; Human Leukocyte antigen class II; Major histocompatibility complex class II | 
| UniProt | |
| Immunogen | YKIX 334.2 was prepared by immunizing rats with concanavilin A activated canine peripheral blood cells. | 
| Application Notes | YKIX 334.2 immunoprecipitates an antigen of 32/34kD and can has been shown to block the proliferation of MHC Class II dependent responses in vitro. This antibody can also be used for IHC- Fr and FC. |
