beta 2-Microglobulin Antibody (SPM374) - Azide and BSA Free Summary

• Description: Purified from Bioreactor Concentrate by Protein A or G. Prepared in 10 mM PBS WITHOUT BSA & azide at 1.0 mg/ml.
• Immunogen: Human PBL's from a T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) patient
• Localization: Cell Surface and Extracellular (Secreted)
• Marker: Renal Failure & Tumor Marker
• Specificity: Recognizes a protein of 12kDa, identified as b2-microglobulin. Beta-2-microglobulin non-covalently associates with the 44kDa a chain to form the HLA Class I antigen complex. Human beta-2-microglobulin associated with HLA Class I antigens is expressed on many types of cells including lymphocytes, thymocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, platelets, endothelial cells, and epithelial cells. It is absent on erythrocytes. This MAb is specific to human b2-microglobulin and does not react with non-human primate cells. This antibody reacts with all cell types excluding erythrocytes. The detection of beta2 microglobulin in body fluids has been used as a tumor marker and for monitoring patients with HIV infection.

Background

Beta-2-microglobulin is a serum protein found in association with the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I heavy chain on the surface of nearly all nucleated cells (Gussow et al., 1987 [PubMed 3312414]).[supplied by OMIM]
