EXBIO Antibodies Product Data Sheet

1B-437-C025

Monoclonal Antibody to HLA-G
Biotin conjugated (0.025 mg)

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
