Analyses of HLA-ABC Expression Left Panel - Multiparameter flow cytometric analysis of human HLA-ABC expression on peripheral blood leucocytes. Whole blood cells were lysed and fixed with BD Phosflow™ Lyse/Fix Buffer (Cat. No. 558049), washed, and then stained with either Purified Mouse IgG1 κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 554121; Left Plot) or Purified Mouse Anti-Human HLA-ABC antibody (Cat. No. 565292; Right Plot). The cells were further stained with PE Goat Anti-Mouse Ig (Multiple Adsorption) (Cat. No. 550589). Flow cytometric contour plots showing the correlated expression of HLA-ABC (or Ig Isotype control staining) versus side light scatter (SSC-A) signals were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact leucocyte populations. Flow cytometric analysis was performed using a BD LSRFortessa™ system. Right Panel - Immunohistochemical staining of HLA-ABC expression in human renal carcinoma tissue. Following antigen retrieval with BD Retrievagen A Buffer (Cat. No. 550524), the formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections were stained with either Purified Mouse IgG1 κ Isotype Control (Left Image) or Purified Mouse HLA-ABC antibody (Right Image). A three-step staining procedure that employs a Biotin Goat Anti-Mouse Immunoglobulin (Cat. No. 550337), Streptavidin-Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) (Cat. No.550946), and the DAB Substrate Kit (Cat. No. 550880) was used to develop the primary staining reagents. As shown in the Right Image, the human HLA-ABC-specific antibody primarily surface stained some renal carcinoma cells. Original magnification: 40×.

Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- Sodium azide is a reversible inhibitor of oxidative metabolism; therefore, antibody preparations containing this preservative agent must not be used in cell cultures nor injected into animals. Sodium azide may be removed by washing stained cells or plate-bound antibody or dialyzing soluble antibody in sodium azide-free buffer. Since endotoxin may also affect the results of functional studies, we recommend the NA/LE (No Azide/Low Endotoxin) antibody format, if available, for in vitro and in vivo use.
- 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.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.

The EMR8-5 monoclonal antibody recognizes a conserved epitope expressed on denatured human Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) Class I antigen heavy chain proteins, also known as, HLA (Human Leucocyte Antigens): HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C (HLA-ABC). MHC Class I molecules are heterodimers that consist of a ~40-45 kDa transmembrane alpha chain subunit that is highly polymorphic and noncovalently associated with invariant β2-microglobulin. MHC Class I antigens are normally expressed on most all nucleated cells. They can be highly expressed on certain activated cells or cells treated with a variety of agents including cytokines or inflammatory mediators. In contrast, they may be very lowly expressed on certain virus-infected or tumor cells. HLA class I antigens expressed by thymic epithelial cells are involved in the positive and negative selection of CD8+ T cells and their TCR repertoire during T cell maturation within the thymus. In the periphery, these HLA antigens serve to present antigens for the generation of effector and memory CD8+ T cell responses. MHC Class I recognition by certain NK receptors can protect target cells from NK cell-mediated lysis. The EMR8-5 antibody is useful for staining HLA Class I molecules found in formalin-fixed cells or paraffin-embedded tissue sections.
