Quick Overview for HLA-DR1 antibody (PE) (ABIN302033)
Target
HLA-DR1
(MHC Class II HLA-DR1 (HLA-DR1))
Reactivity
Human
Host
Mouse
Clonality
Monoclonal
Conjugate
This HLA-DR1 antibody is conjugated to PE
Application
Flow Cytometry (FACS)
Clone
MEM-267
Purpose
Anti-HLA-DR1 (empty) PE
Specificity
The antibody MEM-267 specifically binds extracellularly to the empty but not peptide-loaded form of HLA-DR1. DR is the isotypes of human MHC Class II molecules expressed on antigen-presenting cells (APC, dendritic cells, B lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages).
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
Purified, insoluble DR1 beta chain (DRB1*0101) expressed in E. coli inclusion bodies.
This product contains Sodium azide: a POISONOUS AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE which should be handled by trained staff only.

Background
HLA-DR1 belongs to the HLA class II beta chain paralogues. The MHC Class II molecule is a heterodimer consisting of an alpha (DRA) and a beta chain (DRB), both anchored in the membrane. It plays a central role in the immune system by presenting peptides derived from extracellular proteins. MHC Class II molecules are expressed in antigen presenting cells (APC). The beta chain is approximately 26-28 kDa. Within the DR molecule the beta chain contains all the polymorphisms specifying the peptide binding specificities. Hundreds of DRB1 alleles have been described and typing for these polymorphisms is routinely done for bone marrow and kidney transplantation.
