Anti-Hu beta2-Microglobulin Purified

Beta2-microglobulin non-covalently associates with the 44 kDa alpha chain to forms the HLA Class I antigen complex. Human beta2-microglobulin associated with HLA Class I antigens is expressed on many types of cells including lymphocytes, thymocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, platelets, endothelial cells, and epithelial cells. It is absent on erythrocytes.

Specificity

The mouse monoclonal antibody B2M-01 reacts with beta2-microglobulin (beta2M; extracellular antigen), associated with cell-surface MHC Class I molecules and other membrane antigens, as well as it reacts with soluble beta2-microglobulin. Beta2M is a 12 kDa Ig like glycoprotein expressed on lymphocytes, thymocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, platelets, endothelial cells and epithelial cells. It is absent on erythrocytes.
