Anti-HU-B27 Antibody, FITC conjugated

32160702

NA.41

HU-B27 (HLA- Com-B27) is involved in the presentation of foreign antigens to the immune system. HLA B belongs to the HLA class I heavy chain paralogues. This class I molecule is a heterodimer consisting of a heavy chain and a light chain (beta 2 microglobulin). The heavy chain is anchored in the membrane. Class I molecules play a central role in the immune system by presenting peptides derived from the endoplasmic reticulum lumen. They are expressed in nearly all cells.

This reagent binds strongly to the HLA-B27 antigen. It also binds weakly to the HLAB7 antigen. This formulation demonstrates less cross reactivity to HLA-B7 than Chemicon products, MAB1285 and MAB1285F.

Detect HU-B27d using this Anti-HU-B27 Antibody, FITC conjugated validated for use in FC, IC, IF & WB.
Research Sub Category
Immunoglobulins & Immunology
Flow cytometry and Immunofluorescence: use 10 mL direct from the vial per 100 mL of whole blood, or 1 x 106 peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in 100 mL buffer.

Flow cytometric analysis of lymphocyte staining for HLA-B27 gave the following results:
Subjects/Fluorescence Intensity
Heterozygous HLA-B27+/Strong
Homozygous HLA-B7+/Weak
Heterozygous HLA-B7+/Weak - negative
Non B27, Non B7/Negative

This reagent is useful in the investigation of HLA-B27 in diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis.

SUGGESTED USAGE:
Flow cytometry and immunofluorescence - use 10 µl direct from the vial per 100 µl of whole blood, or 1 x 10E6 peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in 100 µl buffer.

Use Control IgG2a-FITC (MABC002F) as an isotype control.

Please note that this reagent should be used in a single-colour single-step assay only.
