Anti-HLA-ABCE PE (Clone : TP25.99SF)

HLA-class I major histocompatibility (MHC) antigens are intrinsic membrane glycoproteins expressed on nucleated cells and noncovalently associated with an invariant beta2 microglobulin. They carry foreign determinants important for immune recognition by cytotoxic T cells, thus important for anti-viral and anti-tumour defence. Classical human HLA-class I antigens are represented by HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-C molecules, the non-classical by e.g. HLA-E, HLA-G.Specificity : The mouse monoclonal antibody TP25.99SF recognizes an extracellular epitope on HLA-ABC and HLA-E molecules, but not HLA-G. It can be used for discrimination between HLA-G and other HLA-class I antigens.
