• Reactivities: Mouse
• Host: Rat
• Isotype: IgG2b
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Specificity: Specific to MHC Class II molecules.
  This antibody reacts specifically with a non-polymorphic I-A-encoded epitope on MHC Class II antigens. Class II antigens are predominantly expressed on antigen-presenting cells including B lymphocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells and certain epithelial cells.
• Formulation: PBS containing 0.09% Sodium Azide as preservative and a stabilizing agent.
  Label: PE
  State: Liquid purified Ig fraction.
  Label: R-Phycoerythrin

  UniProt ID P18468
• Background: 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.
