BD Pharmingen™ FITC Mouse Anti-Human HLA-A2

Name: FITC Mouse Anti-Human HLA-A2
Brand: BD Pharmingen™
SKU: 551285

Clone BB7.2

(RUO)

Flow cytometric analysis of HLA-A2 on human peripheral blood lymphocytes from a HLA-A2-positive donor. Human whole blood from a HLA-A2-positive donor was stained with either FITC Mouse Anti-Human HLA-A2 (Cat. No. 561107/551285; solid line histogram) or FITC Mouse IgG2b, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 555057; dashed line histogram). The erythrocytes were lysed with BD PharmLyse™ Lysing Buffer (Cat. No. 555899). The fluorescent histograms were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable lymphocytes.

Product Details

Brand: BD Pharmingen™

Alternative Name: HLA class I histocompatibility antigen A2 alpha chain; HLA-A2

Reactivity: Human (QC Testing)

Isotype: Mouse IgG2b, κ

Application: Flow cytometry (Routinely Tested)

Concentration: 0.5 mg/ml

RRID: AB_394130

Storage Buffer: Aqueous buffered solution containing protein stabilizer and ≤0.09% sodium azide.

Regulatory Status: RUO

Preparation And Storage

Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated with FITC under optimum conditions, and unreacted FITC was removed.

Product Notices

Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
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.

Antibody Details

BB7.2

The monoclonal antibody BB7.2 specifically binds to the α subunit of the human leukocyte antigen-A2 (HLA-A2), a class I molecule of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). The MHC gene locus encodes a group of highly polymorphic, cell-surface proteins that play a broad role in the immune response to protein antigens. MHC molecules bind and present small antigenic protein fragments to antigen-specific receptors expressed by T cells (TCR). Human (human leukocyte antigen/HLA) MHC molecules are comprised of two major classes, MHC class I and class II. Functionally, class I MHC molecules bind peptides derived from intracellular antigens (eg, viral and some bacterial antigens) which are specifically recognized by CD8+ T cells. Class II MHC molecules bind antigens derived from pathogens multiplying in intracellular vesicles and ingested extracellular bacteria, both of which are recognized by CD4+ T cells. TCR recognize processed peptides bound to the MHC as well as regions of the MHC molecule itself. CD4 and CD8 accessory molecules strengthen the formation of the TCR-MHC complex through their interaction with non-polymorphic regions of the MHC molecule.

Format Details

FITC

Fluorescein (FITC) is part of the BD blue family of dyes. This is a small organic fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 494-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 518-nm. FITC is designed to be excited by the Blue laser (488-nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 520 nm (e.g., a 530/30-nm bandpass filter). Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.

Format: FITC

Excitation Source: Blue 488 nm

Excitation Max: 494 nm

Emission Max: 518 nm
