FITC Mouse Anti-Human HLA-DQ

BD Pharmingen™ FITC Mouse Anti-Human HLA-DQ

Name: FITC Mouse Anti-Human HLA-DQ
Brand: BD Pharmingen™
SKU: 555563

Clone Tu169

(RUO)

Flow cytometric analysis of HLA-DQ expression on human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Whole blood was stained with either FITC Mouse Anti-Human HLA-DQ (Cat. No. 555563; solid line histogram) or FITC Mouse IgG2a, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 555573; dashed line histogram). Erythrocytes were lysed with BD Pharm Lyse™ Lysing Buffer (Cat. No. 555899). Fluorescent histograms were derived from gated events with the side and forward light-scattering characteristics of viable lymphocytes. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACScan™ system.

Product Details

Brand: BD Pharmingen™

Alternative Name: MHC class II HLA-DQ; MHC HLA-DQ

Reactivity: Human (QC Testing)

Isotype: Mouse IgG2a, κ

Application: Flow cytometry (Routinely Tested)

Vol. Per Test: 20 µl

RRID: AB_395945

Storage Buffer: Aqueous buffered solution containing BSA 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

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.

Antibody Details

Tu169

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.

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
