Preparation And Storage
Product Notices
- This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.

The TU169 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the human Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) Class II HLA-DQ1 and DQ2 antigens and weakly to HLA-DQ3. HLA-DQ antigens exits as heterodimers comprised of polymorphic transmembrane HLA-DQ alpha and beta glycoproteins. HLA-DQ is expressed primarily on B cells, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells and activated T lymphocytes. HLA-DQ is involved in presenting peptidic antigens to CD4+ T lymphocytes. This antibody does not cross-react with HLA-DR2 and HLA-DR7. This antibody fixes complement.
