CloneID: OX-6
Antigen Long Description: This antibody was prepared by subcutaneously injecting non-polymorphic MHC class II (Ia-like glycoproteins) from the membranes of rat thymocytes into BALB/c mice.
Buffer Composition: PBS with 0.02% Proclin 300.
Chimeric Use Statement: This chimeric rabbit antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Mouse IgG1 format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
Available Custom Conjugation Options: AP, HRP, Fluorescein, APC, PE, Biotin Type A, Biotin Type B, Streptavidin, FluoroProbes 647H, Atto488, APC/Cy7, PE/Cy7
Specificity Statement: This antibody recognises a monomorphic determinant of the rat MHC II (I-A) antigen present on B lymphocytes, dendritic cells, some macrophages and certain epithelial cells. It also cross-reacts with mouse MHC, specifically I-A[k] and I-A[s]
Application Notes (Clone): This antibody binds to the rat MHC II (I-A) antigen, and cross-reacts with mouse I-A[k] and I-A[s]. Consequently, this antibody can be used to assess the tissue distribution of rat Ia antigens, indicating high Ia antigen expression on peripheral B lymphocytes, and significantly lower expression on thymocytes and T lymphocytes (McMaster, 1979).
