HLA Class 1 Antigen A3 (R0.90) (Biotin)
Description:
The human leukocyte antigen system (HLA) is the name of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in humans and is an essential element for immune function. This group of genes re- sides on chromosome 6, and encodes cell-surface antigen- presenting proteins and many other genes. Different classes have different functions: HLA class I antigens (A, B & C) present peptides from inside the cell, including viral peptides if present. These peptides are produced from digested proteins that are broken down in the proteasomes. Foreign antigens attract killer T-cells (also called CD8+ or cytotoxic T-cells) that destroy cells.

Applications:
Suitable for use in direct Immunofluorescence and Flow Cytometry, detection of HLA antigens on lymphocytes in whole blood samples and cells isolated from blood or lymphoid tissue. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilutions:
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
