Application Notes

This antibody binds murine H-2 MHC class I molecules and has been used in both structural and biochemical studies. This antibody has been used in immunoprecipitation analysis (Robinson, 1987) and in immunofluorescence assays for MHC-I surface expression (Karacsonyi et al., 2004) and MHC-I endocytosis (Knorr et al., 2009). This antibody has also been employed to induce clustering of cell surface MHC-I in co-patching assays (Knorr et al., 2009). Cellular radioimmune assays have been used to confirm the binding of this antibody to spleen cells and assess its strain specificity (Koch et al., 1983; PMID: 6192569).

Short Description

This chimeric rat antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
