Purified Mouse Anti-Human HLA-ABC
Flow cytometric analysis of HLA-ABC expression on human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Whole blood was stained with either Purified Mouse Anti-Human HLA-ABC (Cat. No. 555551/557347; solid line histogram) or Purified Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 555746; dashed line histogram). Secondary staining was carried out with FITC Goat Anti-Mouse IgG/IgM (Cat. No. 555988) and erythrocytes were lysed with BD FACS™ Lysing Solution (Cat. No. 349202). Fluorescence histograms depicting HLA-ABC (or Ig isotype control) expression were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable lymphocytes. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACScan™ system.

Product Notices

  1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
  2. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Species cross-reactivity detected in product development may not have been confirmed on every format and/or application.
  6. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.

G46-2.6

The Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) complex is the human version of the MHC, helping the immune system distinguish the body's own proteins versus those from foreign invaders, such as viruses.  Humans have three main MHC class I genes, known as HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-C.  Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules, which are widely found on the surface of nucleated cells, function by binding peptides and displaying them on the cell surface to cytotoxic T-cells.  Intracellular degradation of cytosolic proteins by the proteasome generates many of the peptides that load MHC class I molecules.  MHC class I may also serve as an inhibitory ligand for natural killer (NK) cell receptors (KIR, Killer Immunoglobulin-like Receptors), which viruses may modulate expression levels for to evade immune detection.  The G46-2.6 monoclonal antibody binds to a monomorphic epitope on the alpha chain of HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-C.

Purified
Tissue culture supernatant is purified by either protein A/G or affinity purification methods. Both methods yield antibody in solution that is free of most other soluble proteins, lipids, etc. This format provides pure antibody that is suitable for a number of downstream applications including: secondary labeling for flow cytometry or microscopy, ELISA, Western blot, etc.
