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.
Specificity
The antibody B2M-01 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.

|
Applications:
- Flow Cytometry
Recommended dilution: 1 μg/ml
Positive control: Peripheral blood lymphocytes
Negative control: DAUDI human Burkitt lymphoma cell line, erythrocytes
- Immunoprecipitation
Application note: The B2M-01 coprecipitates beta2-microglobulin (12 kDa) and HLA antigens (45 kDa) from the lysates of human lymphoid cells.
- Western Blotting
Recommended dilution: 2-4 μg/ml
Positive control: U937 human histiocytic lymphoma cell line RAJI human Burkitt lymphoma cell line
Negative control: EL4 mouse lymphoblastic lymphoma cell line
Sample preparation: Resuspend approx. 50 mil. cells in 1 ml cold Lysis buffer (1% laurylmaltoside in 20 mM Tris/Cl, 100 mM NaCl pH 8.2, 50 mM NaF including Protease inhibitor Cocktail). Incubate 60 min on ice. Centrifuge to remove cell debris. Mix lysate with non-reducing/reducing Laemmli SDS-PAGE sample buffer.
Application note: Both reducing and non-reducing conditions.
- Immunohistochemistry (paraffin sections)
Recommended dilution: 10 μg/ml
Positive tissue: kidney glomeruli
- ELISA
Application note: Working dilution should be determinated by investigator.
- RIA
Application note: Use at an assay dependent concentration. The dissociation constant of the antibody soluble beta2-microglobulin is 1.5 x 10-8 mol/l as determined by competitive RIA.
Usage note: Indicated dilutions are recommended starting points for use of this product. Working concentrations should be determined by the investigator.
