Storage Note

Store at 4⁰C for up to 3 months. Note, this antibody is provided without added preservatives, it is therefore recommed this antibody be handled under sterile conditions. For longer storage, aliquot and store at -20⁰C.

Application Notes

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).

Short Description

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.
