Flow cytometric analysis of HLA-G expression on human JEG-3 cells. Cells from the human JEG-3 (Choriocarcinoma, ATCC HTB-36) cell line were preincubated with BD Pharmingen™ Human BD Fc Block™ (Cat. No. 564219/564220) and then stained with either PE Mouse IgG2a, κ Isotype Control (Cat No. 554648, dashed line histogram) or PE Mouse Anti-Human HLA-G (Cat No. 566904; solid line histogram). The fluorescence histogram showing HLA-G expression (or Ig Isotype control staining) was derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable human JEG-3 cells. Flow cytometric analysis was performed using a BD FACSCelesta™ Flow Cytometer System and FlowJo™ software.

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.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
- 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.

The 87G monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes Human Leukocyte Antigen G (HLA-G) which is encoded by HLA-G (major histocompatibility complex, class I, G). HLA-G is a nonclassical Major Histocompatibility Complex class I (MHC-Ib) molecule that is structurally related to the classical MHC class Ia antigens (HLA-A, -B, -C). Several HLA-G isoforms have been described including transmembrane HLA-G1, -G2, -G3, -G4 and soluble HLA-G5, -G6, and -G7. The 87G monoclonal antibody reportedly recognizes a conformationally-dependent epitope on the heterodimeric transmembrane HLA-G1 and soluble HLA-G7 isoforms that consist of an HLA-G alpha chain and β2-microglobulin (β2m). HLA-G1 is variably expressed on placental trophoblast cells, thymic epithelial cells, activated monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and tumor cells. Heterodimeric HLA-G shows limited variation and binds a limited variety of self-peptides derived from intracellular proteins including histones and ribosomal proteins. This molecule binds to inhibitory receptors such as CD85d, CD85j, and CD158d that are differentially expressed by NK cells, T cells, monocytes, dendritic cells, and B cells. This interaction exerts suppressive regulation of immune responses and is thought to help safeguard maternal tolerance of the fetus during pregnancy. The 4H84 monoclonal antibody that reportedly recognizes denatured forms of HLA-G1 and HLA-G2 has also been described.
