Reactivities:
Mouse
Product Details
The 28-8-6S monoclonal antibody reacts with the mouse H-2Kb and H-2Db MHC Class I alloantigens. Murine MHC I α chain is composed of H-2 with K, D, and L loci, thereby forming H-2K, H-2D, and H-2L genes, which are considered highly polymorphic because they carry mouse strain-specific haplotypes designated by a lower-case letter (e.g., a, b, d, k, q, s, etc.). At the protein level, the MHC Class I antigen is a cell surface receptor expressed by all nucleated cells at varying levels in mice of the H-2Kb and H-2Db haplotype, e.g., C57BL/6 mice. MHC I plays a central role in antigen presentation to T cells, thereby allowing the immune system to recognize and respond to foreign pathogens, infected cells, or self-antigens. MHC I is also involved in neuronal development, specifically in synaptic elimination or synaptic pruning. In experimental therapeutics, personalized cancer vaccines and other immunotherapies can be developed by taking advantage of the antigen specificity of the interaction between MHC I molecules, peptides, and TCR. The 28-8-6S monoclonal antibody has been extensively used to study the role of H-2Kb and H-2Db alloantigens. This antibody binds strongly with H-2Kb but has a relatively lower affinity for H-2Db. The 28-8-6S antibody can only recognize H-2Db if β2m is present. This antibody does not cross-react with f, k, p, q, r, and s haplotypes.Specifications
