General description

Major histocompatibility complex II (MHCII) is specifically localized on antigen presenting cells, such as macrophages, dendritic cells and B cells. MHC class II are classified in to two types classical and non- classical MHC class II molecules. In humans, there are three classical class II molecules HLA-DP, -DQ and –DR and two non-classical molecules, namely HLA-DM and –DO.
The rat monoclonal antibody M5/114 reacts with murine MHC class II glycoproteins. It recognizes a shared determinant on I-Ab, I-Ad, I-Aq, and I-Ed, I-Ek alloantigens, but it does not react with I-Af, I-Ak, I-As. This antibody can inhibit I-A-restricted T cell responses of the H-2b, H-2d, H-2q, H-2u but not H-2f, H-2k, H-2s haplotypes.

Immunogen

Activated C57BL/6 mouse spleen cells

Application

The reagent is designed for Flow Cytometry analysis. Suggested working dilution is 4 μg/mL of sample. Indicated dilution is recommended starting point for use of this product. Working concentrations should be determined by the investigator.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Major histocompatibility complex II (MHCII) plays a vital role in initiating immune response by presenting peptides derived from extracellular pathogens to T cells bearing the CD4 marker. Mutations in the gene increase the risk of susceptibility to autoimmune diseases such as diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis and pemphigus vulgaris.
