Quick Overview for MICA antibody (PE) (ABIN192165)

Target: MICA (MHC Class I Polypeptide-Related Sequence A (MICA))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This MICA antibody is conjugated to PE

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS)

Clone: MEM-147

Product Details anti-MICA Antibody (PE)

Purpose: Anti-HLA Class I PE

Specificity: The antibody MEM-147 reacts with an extracellular epitope of all human classical MHC Class I molecules in native cell-surface forms (e.g. it recognizes native HLA-A2 in cytofluorometry and immunoprecipitation but not in Western blotting). MHC Class I molecules (MHC Class Ia) are expressed on the surface of all human nucleated cell types. The antibody MEM-147 is positive in Western blotting (non-reducing conditions) only with most HLA-B and HLA-C molecules, but not HLA-A. Reactivity is very similar to the classical antibody W6/32.

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Human

Purification: Purified antibody is conjugated with R-phycoerythrin (PE) under optimum conditions. Unconjugated antibody and free fluorochrome are removed by size-exclusion chromatography.

Immunogen: PHA-activated peripheral blood lymphocytes

Isotype: IgG1

Target Details for MICA

Target: MICA (MHC Class I Polypeptide-Related Sequence A (MICA))

Alternative Name: HLA Class I

Background: HLA-class I major histocompatibility (MHC) antigens are intrinsic membrane glycoproteins expressed on nucleated cells and noncovalently associated with an invariant beta2 microglobulin. They carry foreign determinants important for immune recognition by cytotoxic T cells, thus important for anti-viral and anti-tumour defence. Human HLA-class I antigens are represented by HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-C molecules.
