This antibody binds murine H-2 MHC class I molecules, and has been used in both structural and biochemical studies. It has been employed to assess MHC class I expression in frozen, acetone-fixed mouse brain sections by immunohistochemistry (Miralvs et al, 2007), and to stain paraffin-embedded sections of mouse liver for H-2Kb expression (Limmer et al, 2005). It has also been used to precipitate mouse H-2Kk and H-2Dk class I molecules from detergent lysates of Ltk3.3/1 cells (Rada et al, 1990), and to stain H-2Kb and H-2Kk-expressing cells in FACS analysis (Bendelac, 1995). 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).
This chimeric goat antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Rat IgG2B format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
