| Clone: | 87G |
|---|---|
| Isotype: | Mouse IgG2a |
| Specificity: | The antibody 87G recognizes both membrane-bound and soluble forms of HLA-G (HLA-G1 and HLA-G5). HLA-G belongs to the MHC Class I molecules (MHC Class Ib; nonclassical) and it is expressed on the surface of trophoblast cells. The antibody 87G blocks interaction of HLA-G with inhibitory receptors. |
| Immunogen: | HLA-B27 transgenic mice were imunized with H-2 identical murine cells transfected with and expressing genes encoding HLA-G and human beta2-microglobulin. |
| Species Reactivity: | Human |
| Negative Species: | Mouse, Rat |
| Preparation: | The purified antibody is conjugated with Biotin-LC-NHS under optimum conditions. The reagent is free of unconjugated biotin. |
| Concentration: | 1 mg/ml |
| Storage Buffer: | Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) with 15 mM sodium azide, approx. pH 7.4 |
| Storage / Stability: | Store at 2-8°C. Do not freeze. Do not use after expiration date stamped on vial label. |
| Usage: | The reagent is designed for Flow Cytometry analysis of cells expressing HLA-G molecule on the cell surface, and for ELISA.
Suggested working dilution for Flow Cytometry is 1:500. Indicated dilution is recommended starting point for use of this product. Working concentrations should be determined by the investigator. |
| Expiration: | See vial label |
| Lot Number: | See vial label |
