Preparation And Storage
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.
- 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.

Reacts with human leukocyte antigen-DM (HLA-DM), a non-classical MHC class II molecule expressed in the cytoplasm of antigen presenting cells (APC). HLA-DM is composed of alpha and beta subunits which form a similar structure as the classical class II molecules. HLA-DM catalyzes the dissociation of CLIP from MHC class II-CLIP complexes in vitro and facilitates the binding of antigenic peptides. It also prevents self-antigens from becoming stably complexed with class II molecules and being presented to T cells.
