HLAG antibody (C-Term)

Catalog No. ABIN94383

Product Details anti-HLAG Antibody

Target: HLAG (HLA Class I Histocompatibility Antigen, alpha Chain G (HLAG))

Binding Specificity: C-Term

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This HLAG antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunohistochemistry (Frozen Sections) (IHC (fro)), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))

Specificity: The antibody 2A12 was generated to a peptide corresponding to C-intron 4-encoded sequence. This antibody does not crossreact with the full-length HLA-G1 isoform and thus allows to distinguish between secreted HLA-G5 and HLA-G6 isoforms from shedded HLA-G1.

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Human

Purification: Purified by sequential steps of physicochemical fractionation (differential precipitation and solid-phase chromatography methods).

Purity: > 95 % (by SDS-PAGE)

Immunogen: C-terminal amino acid sequence (22-mer) of soluble HLA-G5 and HLA-G6 proteins coupled to ovalbumin.

Clone: 2A12

Isotype: IgG1

Application Details

Application Notes: Flow cytometry: Excellent for intracellular staining, recommended dilution: 1-4 μg/mL.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Concentration: 1 mg/mL

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

Preservative: Sodium azide

Precaution of Use: This product contains Sodium azide: a POISONOUS AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE which should be handled by trained staff only.

Handling Advice: Do not freeze.

Storage: 4 °C

Storage Comment: Store at 2-8°C. Do not freeze.

Background: Major histocompatibility complex, class I, G,Human leukocyte antigen G (HLA-G), belonging to MHC class I glycoproteins, plays important roles in both physiological and pathological immunotolerance. It gives an inhibitory signal to cytotoxic T cells, NK cells, monocytes, and some other immune cells. It also induces regulatory T cells and anti-inflammatory macrophages. HLA-G is important e.g. for maternal tolerance to the fetus, and for immunomodulation in particular adult tissues, such as in cornea, pancreatic islets, thymus and other. On the other hand, it is expressed in many solid and hematologic malignancies, where it contributes to evasion of the immune surveillance. HLA-G expression pattern in cancer is an important prognostic factor regarding a poor clinical outcome. Unlike most other MHC glycoproteins, HLA-G acts as an immune checkpoint molecule rather than as an antigen presenting molecule. It concerns both transmembrane and soluble HLA-G isoforms. Among other, HLA-G can promote Th2 immunological response and downregulate Th1 immunological response. For its benefits regarding allograft tolerance, including embryo implantation, soluble HLA-G (sHLA-G) can be used as a marker of developmental potential of embryos during the process of in vitro fertilization. Similarly, sHLA-G concentrations in maternal serum are decreased in preeclampsia. Transplanted patients with increased sHLA-G serum levels have improved allograft acceptance. On the other hand, increased sHLA-G can also indicate presence of malignant (sometimes also of benign) tumor cells. Another important topic is induction of HLA-G expression (sometimes associated with shedding of HLA-G from the cell surface) by some anti-cancer or anti-viral therapies, which can weaken the therapy effect. Monitoring of HLA-G in patients thus has a wide usage.
