This antibody binds to the rat MHC II (I-A) antigen, and cross-reacts with mouse I-A[k] and I-A[s]. Consequently, this antibody can be used to assess the tissue distribution of rat Ia antigens, indicating high Ia antigen expression on peripheral B lymphocytes, and significantly lower expression on thymocytes and T lymphocytes (McMaster, 1979).
This chimeric rat antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Mouse IgG1 format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
