  Immunohistochemistry (Acetone-Fixed, Frozen Tissue Sections).
• Reactivities: Mouse
• Host: Mouse
• Isotype: IgG2a

• Specificity: This antibody is specific to an epitope in the alpha 3 domain that is common to H-2Kd and H-2Dd. It binds to a common determinant in the alpha 3 domains of H-2Kd and H-2Dd in the presence or absence of beta 2 Microglobulin. (Ref.7,8)
  It cross reacts with the alpha 3 domain of H-2Kb. (Ref.1,2)
• Formulation: PBS containing 0.09% Sodium Azide as preservative.
  Label: Biotin
  State: Liquid purified Ig fraction.
• Concentration: 0.5 mg/ml
• Conjugation: Biotin
• Background: The 'classical' MHC Class I molecules are histocompatibility antigens encoded by the H-2 gene complex and consist of heterodimers of highly polymorphic alpha chains noncovalently associated with the invariant beta 2-Microglobulin. (Ref.3,4) These antigens are expressed on most nucleated cells but expression varies on different cell types. MHC Class I molecules present endogenously synthesized peptides to CD8+ T lymphocytes, which are usually cytotoxic T cells. (Ref.5) MHC Class I antigens expressed on thymic epithelial cells regulate the positive and negative selection of CD8+ T cells during T cell ontogeny. (Ref.3,6)
