Product Specifications

Immunogen

This antibody was prepared by subcutaneously injecting non-polymorphic MHC class II (Ia-like glycoproteins) from the membranes of rat thymocytes into BALB/c mice.

Specificity

This antibody recognises a monomorphic determinant of the rat MHC Class II (I-A) antigen present on B lymphocytes, dendritic cells, some macrophages and certain epithelial cells. It also cross-reacts with mouse MHC, specifically I-A[k] and I-A[s]

Clonality

Monoclonal

Host

Rabbit

Isotype

IgG

Description

This chimeric rabbit antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Mouse IgG1 format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.

Immunocytochemistry /Immunofluorescence: MHC Class II Antibody (OX-6) - Chimeric - BSA Free [NBP3-43539] -

Immunocytochemistry /Immunofluorescence: MHC Class II Antibody (OX-6) - Chimeric - BSA Free [NBP3-43539] - Immunofluorescence analysis of paraformaldehyde fixed rat (Rattus norvegicus) splenocytes on Shi-fix coverslips, permeabilized with 0.15% Triton stained with NBP3-43539 at 10 ug/ml for 1h followed by Alexa Fluor488 secondary antibody (1 ug/ml), showing membrane and some cytoplasmic staining of a subset of cells. The nuclear stain is DAPI (blue). Panels show from left-right, top-bottom NBP3-43539, DAPI, merged channels and an isotype control. The isotype control was stained with an anti-Fluorescein antibody followed by Alexa Fluor488 secondary antibody.

Flow Cytometry: MHC Class II Antibody (OX-6) - Chimeric - BSA Free [NBP3-43539] -

Flow Cytometry: MHC Class II Antibody (OX-6) - Chimeric - BSA Free [NBP3-43539] - Staining of rat (Rattus norvegicus) leukocytes with either an isotype control (A) or NBP3-43539(B) at a concentration of 1 ug/ml for 30 mins at RT. After washing, bound antibody was detected using an Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated donkey anti-rabbit antibody and cells analysed on a FACSCanto flow-cytometer.

Western Blot: MHC Class II Antibody (OX-6) - Chimeric - BSA Free [NBP3-43539] -

Western Blot: MHC Class II Antibody (OX-6) - Chimeric - BSA Free [NBP3-43539] - Rat spleen (A), rat thymus (B) and rat lymph node (C) lysate samples (35ug protein in RIPA buffer) were resolved on a 10% SDS PAGE gel and blots probed with NBP3-43539 at 1 ug/ml before detection using an anti-rabbit secondary antibody. A primary incubation of 1h was used and protein was detected by chemiluminescence. The expected running size for CD74 is ~24.5-31.6kDa, depending on the isoform and post-translational modification. NBP3-43539 successfully detected CD74 in rat spleen, thymus and lymph node lysates.

Background: MHC Class II

MHC Class II antigens are heterodimers consisting of one alpha chain(31-34kD) and one beta chain (26-29kD). The family of monoclonal antibodies (ER-TR 3, ER-TR 2, ER-TR 1) detect MHC class II antigens encoded by the murine Ia region of the H-2 complex, corresponding to the human HLA-DR region. MHC Class II antigens are a valuable tool for studying T helper cell interaction with class II positive antigen presenting cells (dendritic cells, B cells, macrophages) and offer new possibilities for studying the development of T helper cells since these antibodies also stain stromal cells in the thymus. MHC Class II antigens are also inducible on a number of other cells (endothelium and epithelial cells) by interferon gamma.
