MHC class II (I-A/I-E) Antibody (M5/114.15.2) [Biotin] Summary

• Immunogen: The immunogen for this antibody was MHC Class II.
• Specificity: The monoclonal antibody reacts with the mouse major histocompatibility complex class II, both I-A and I-E subregion-encoded glycoproteins (I-A b, I-A d, I-A q, I-E d, I-E k, not I-A f, I-A k, or I-A s). It detects a polymorphic determinant present on B cells, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and activated T lymphocytes from mice carrying the H-2 b, H-2 d, H-2 q, H-2 p, H-2 r and H-2 u but not from mice carrying the H-2 s or H-2 f haplotypes. The M5/114 mAb is reported to inhibit I-A-restricted T cell responses of the H-2 b, H-2 d, H-2 q, H-2 u but not H-2 f, H-2 k, or H-2 s haplotypes.

Background

The M5/114.15.2 monoclonal antibody reacts with the mouse major histocompatibility complex class II, both I-A and I-E subregion-encoded glycoproteins (I-Ab, I-Ad, I-Aq, I-Ed, I-Ek, not I-Af, I-Ak, or I-As). It detects a polymorphic determinant present on B cells, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and activated T lymphocytes from mice carrying the H-2b, H-2d, H-2q, H-2p, H-2r and H-2u but not from mice carrying the H-2s or H-2f haplotypes. The M5/114 mAb is reported to inhibit I-A-restricted T cell responses of the H-2b, H-2d, H-2q, H-2u but not H-2f, H-2k, or H-2s haplotypes.

FAQs for MHC class II (I-A/I-E) Antibody (NBP1-43552). (Showing 1 - 1 of 1 FAQ).

1. I have a question about your product? I use your antibody - clone M5/114.15.2 with biotin. I need to know the specifity of this antibody, specifically, which part of MHCII molecule it binds . Whether antibody binds alpha or betha chain or other part of this molecule. I would be very pleased, if you could find out this information.
   • As we do not routinely epitope map our antibodies we are, unfortunately, unable to tell you exactly where this clone binds. You may however find the following paper useful, in which the authors showed this antibody to recognise a conformation-independent epitope of the beta-chain: PMID 9649196.
