Application Details

Application Notes: Flow cytometry: use 10 μL of 1/50 - 1/100 diluted antibody to label 10^6 cells in 100 μL. (This product is routinely tested in flow cytometry on rat splenocytes). Immunohistochemistry on frozen sections: Acetone fixation is recommended - the antigen is sensitive to fixation with paraformaldehyde. Not suitable for immunohistochemistry on paraffin sections. ELISA. Immunoprecipitation.
Other applications not tested.
Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user. Further Comments: MRC OX-18 has been used in immunoaffinity purification of rat MHC class I molecules.

Target: MHC Class I RT1.Aa alpha-Chain (RT1.AA)

Alternative Name: MHC Class I (RT1Aa)

Background: MHC Class I molecules play a central role in the immune system by presenting peptides derived from the endoplasmic reticulum lumen. MHC class I antigens are heterodimers consisting of one alpha chain (44 kDa) with beta 2 microglobulin (11.5 kDa). The antigen is expressed by all somatic cells at varying levels. MHC Class I molecules are expressed on most nucleated cells where they present endogenously synthesized antigenic peptides to CD8+ T lymphocytes, which are usually cytotoxic T cells. Fibroblasts or neurons however only show a low level of antigen.Synonyms: RT1 class I histocompatibility antigen AA alpha chain
