MICA antibody

Catalog No. ABIN94335

This anti-MICA antibody is a Mouse Monoclonal antibody detecting MICA in ELISA, FACS and IP. Suitable for Human, Cow and Non-Human Primate.

Quick Overview for MICA antibody (ABIN94335)

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

Reactivity: Human, Cow, Non-Human Primate

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This MICA antibody is un-conjugated

Application: ELISA, Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunoprecipitation (IP)

Clone: MEM-123

Product Details anti-MICA Antibody

Purpose: Anti-HLA Class I Purified

Specificity: The antibody MEM-123 reacts with an extracellular epitope of all human classical MHC Class I molecules (major histocompatibility complex) in native cell-surface forms as well as with human HLA-G cDNA transfected cells. MHC Class I molecules (MHC Class Ia) are expressed on the surface of all human cell types. The antibody MEM-123 completely blocks binding of classical W6/32 to surface-expressed HLA-G, but does not cross-blocks the antibody MEM-G/9.

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Human, Non-Human Primates, Bovine

Purification: Purified by protein-A affinity chromatography.

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.
