Description: This YKIX334.2 monoclonal antibody reacts with canine major histocompatibility complex (MHC) Class II. The MHC plays a significant role in immunity by presenting self and non-self antigens to T cells. In dogs, MHC Class II is expressed on all T and B cells, macrophages, fibroblasts, and kidney interstitial cells.
This monoclonal antibody has been reported to inhibit mixed lymphocyte reactions and T cell activation induced by MHC Class II antigen presentation in vitro. Also, YKIX334.2 recognition of MHC Class II is not allele-specific.
Applications Reported: This YKIX334.2 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.
Applications Tested: This YKIX334.2 antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal canine peripheral blood cells. This can be used at 5 µL (0.25 µg) per test. A test is defined as the amount (µg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 µL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test.
Excitation: 633-647 nm; Emission: 660 nm; Laser: Red Laser.
Filtration: 0.2 µm post-manufacturing filtered.
MHC (major histocompatibility complex) class II molecules are transmembrane glycoproteins expressed on the surface of professional antigen-presenting cells, such as macrophages, dendritic cells and B cells. Before their exposition on the cell surface, the MHC class II molecules react with endocytosed exogenous antigens, which are then presented to the T cells. The antigen-binding grove between MHC class II alpha and beta chain is open at both ends and is 15-24 amino acid residues long.
HLA and MHC antibodies play a significant role in Immunopeptidomics, facilitating the identification and characterization of neoantigens through high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem Mass Spectrometry.
