Immunogen

This antibody was raised by immunising DA rats with PVG.R8 rat spleen cells. Splenocytes from immunised rats were then isolated, and fused to the myeloma line NSO/u to generate stable hybridomas.

Product Specific Information

This antibody recognises the rat RT1Bu/Du MHC class II antigen, and cross-reacts with haplotypes c, d, l and n. This antibody stains MHC class II molecules in a number of rat strains, including PVG, F334, LEW, and BN. However, this antibody is not reactive with RT1a haplotype rats, including Wistar rats. This antibody also cross-reacts with murine I-A and I-E molecules of all haplotypes tested, including H-2b, d, f and k, so can be used in all mouse strains.

Target Information

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.
