The Mclass I n/a (Catalog #MBS584157) is an Antibody produced from Rat and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Mclass I, Mouse, mAb ER-MP42 reacts with Mouse and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. MyBioSource\'s Mclass I can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, F, Flow Cytometry (FC/FACS).Application Use: For immunohistology and flow cytometry, dilutions to be used depend on detection system applied. It is recommended that users test the reagent and determine their own optimal dilutions. The typical starting working dilution is 1:50. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Mclass I n/a for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process.

Product Description: The monoclonal antibody ER-MP42 specifically reacts with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I antigens of the mouse and, therefore, it is a valuable tool for studying cytotoxic T-cell interactions with class I positive antigen presenting cells. The primary immunological function of MHC molecules is to bind and present antigenic peptides on the surfaces of cells for recognition by the antigen-specific T cell receptors (TCRs) of lymphocytes. MHC class I molecules are expressed on the surfaces of most cells and are recognized by CD8-positive cytotoxic T-cells, an essential step for initiating the elimination of virally infected cells by T-cell-mediated lysis. MHC class I molecules are heterodimers composed of an alpha (44kD) and a beta (beta microglobulin, 11 kD) subunit. The first two structural domains of the alpha subunit associate to form the peptide-binding pocket. The monoclonal antibody ER-MP42 reacts with MHC class I, an antigen that is expressed by all somatic cells at varying levels. Lymphocytes are highly positive, whereas fibroblasts and neurons show only a low level of antigen expression. ER-MP42 recognizes murine MHC class I molecules on the surface of cells of the following haplotypes: H-2Fv, H-2Dd, H-2k,q,s. Weaker reactivity is found in mice of the following haplotypes: H-2p,r,w7,w22. MHC class I molecules of other haplotypes are not recognized by ER-MP42. There is no cross-reactivity with human MHC class I molecules.
In general, we may offer more than one antibody to a given target to enable options for the researcher. Available antibodies recognizing Mclass I are readily searchable from our website. Different antibodies against the same target such as Mclass I may be optimized or tested for different applications and species. This enables researchers to select the option that may be best for their model system, to screen more than antibody to determine which one may be best for their model system, as well as to use more than one antibody to follow up on and validate their results.
