Product Specifications

Immunogen

The immunogen for this antibody was MHC Class II.

Reactivity Notes

Use in Human reported in scientific literature (PMID:29990503).

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.

Flow Cytometry

Optimal dilutions of this antibody should be experimentally determined.
Application Notes
Optimal dilution of this antibody should be experimentally determined. For optimal results using our Tandem dyes, please avoid prolonged exposure to light or extreme temperature fluctuations. These can lead to irreversible degradation or decoupling. When staining intracellular targets, specific attention to the fixation and permeabilization steps in your flow protocol may be required.

Background: MHC class II (I-A/I-E)

Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class II is a heterodimeric transmembrane protein that is expressed on antigen-presenting cells including dendritic cells, macrophages, and B cells. Mouse MHC class II is expressed as multiple isotypes encoded by four genes located in the mouse MHC. MHC class II alpha and beta subunits are assembled into heterodimers in the endoplasmic reticulum, where they are complexed to an invariant chain (Ii). Following synthesis, MHC class II is further processed in the MHC class II compartment, a specialized endosome. Here, the Ii chain is digested and peptide antigens derived from extracellular proteins are loaded into the groove between the alpha and beta MHC class II subunits. Antigens presented on MHC class II bind to epitope-specific T Cell Receptors (TCR) expressed by CD4+ helper T cells. In addition to presenting peptide antigens to T cells, MHC class II can also initiate intracellular signaling pathways in antigen-presenting cells that modulate their proliferation, maturation, and apoptosis.
