Isotype

Mouse IgG1

Specificity

The antibody MEM-E/02 specifically reacts with an extracellular epitope on denaturated heavy chain of human HLA-E. HLA-E belongs to the MHC Class I molecules (MHC Class Ib; nonclassical) and it is expressed on the surface of all human cell types.

Application

WB, IHC-P

Application details

Immunohistochemistry (paraffin sections): Recommended dilution: 5-10 μg/ml; positive control: human placenta; heat antigen retrieval (sodium citrate), incubation with mAb: 1 hour / RT, detection DAB.

Reactivity

Human, Non-human primates

Immunogen

Recombinant human HLA-E denaturated heavy chain.

Concentration

1 mg/ml

Preparation

Purified by protein-A affinity chromatography.

Formulation

Phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.4, 15 mM sodium azide

Storage and handling

Store at 2-8°C. Do not freeze.

Antigen description

HLA-E (human leukocyte antigen E) is a non-classical MHC I antigen, which is important for dialogue with NK cells and their regulation through interaction with CD94/NKG2 receptor. Like other MHC I molecules, transmembrane HLA-E molecule (45 kDa) associates with beta2 microglobulin. Unlike HLA-G, expression of HLA-E molecules is not so restricted, but it has been detected at least at mRNA level in virtually all cells and tissues examined. In peripheral blood, HLA-E protein is expressed at least in all mononuclear cells, but in different quantity (B cells and monocytes more than T cells and NK cells).

Anti-Hu HLA-E purified antibody (clone MEM-E/02) specificity verification by flow cytometry

Anti-Hu HLA-E purified antibody (concentration in sample 5 μg/ml, red-filled histogram) binds specifically to surface HLA-E on surface of HLA-E transfected LCL 721.221 cells, but not to RAJI cells, K562 cells, HLA-G transfected LCL 721.221 cells and non-transfected LCL 721.221 cells.
Level of non-specific binding was assessed using Mouse IgG1 isotype control PE (MOPC-21) under same conditions (concentration in sample 5 μg/ml, black-dashed histogram).
