| Clone: | B2M-02 |
|---|---|
| Isotype: | Mouse IgG1 |
| Specificity: | The antibody B2M-02 reacts with beta2-microglobulin (beta2M) associated with cell-surface MHC Class I molecules and other membrane antigens as well as with soluble beta2-microglobulin. Beta2M is a 12 kDa Ig like glycoprotein expressed on lymphocytes, thymocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, platelets, endothelial cells and epithelial cells. It is absent on erythrocytes. |
| Immunogen: | Purified isolated human beta2-microglobulin. |
| Species Reactivity: | Human, Porcine |
| 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: | Biotinylated antibody is designed for indirect immunofluorescence analysis by Flow Cytometry. Suggested working dilution is 1:200. 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 |
| Background: | Beta2-microglobulin non-covalently associates with the 44 kDa alpha chain to forms the HLA Class I antigen complex. Human beta2-microglobulin associated with HLA Class I antigens is expressed on many types of cells including lymphocytes, thymocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, platelets, endothelial cells, and epithelial cells. It is absent on erythrocytes. |
