Immunogen
Swiss Prot Num:
P16391
Immunogen:
Rat spleen glycoproteins. Spleen cells from immunised BALB/c mice were fused with cells of the mouse P3X63Ag8.653 myeloma cell line.
Isotype control SM20F (for use in rat samples)
Application Flow Cytometry: Neat - 1/10; Use 10µl of the suggested working dilution to label 10e6 cells in 100µl; This product is routinely tested in flow cytometry on rat splenocytes.
Immunohistology: Acetone fixation recommended - the antigen is sensitive to fixation with paraformaldehyde.
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 (44kDa) 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.
Concentration 0.1 mg/ml

Format
Label:
Fluorescein Isothiocyanate Isomer 1
FITC
Purification:
Affinity chromatography on Protein G
Buffer System:
PBS, pH7.4 containing 0.09% Sodium Azide and 1% Bovine Serum Albumin

Specificity
Specificity:
This antibody recognises a monomorphic determinant of MHC Class I (RT1A), expressed by all rat strains. However, quantitative measurements suggest that not all of the class I molecules are recognised.
Species:
Rat.
