Mouse monoclonal [2G5] antibody to MHC Class I (FITC).
Specificity
This antibody recognises a monomorphic epitope present on murine MHC class I molecules, expressed at varying levels on the majority of nucleated cells. The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a cluster of genes that are important in the immune response to infections. In mice, this complex is referred to as the histocompatibility 2 (H-2) region.The epitope recognized by clone 2G5 is conformation dependent and is reported to be phylogenetically conserved. Reactivity has been observed with some canine samples suggesting that this antibody may recognize a polymorphic epitope of canine MHC class I.

General Notes
Mouse anti Mouse MHC Class I antibody, clone 2G5 recognizes a monomorphic epitope present on murine MHC class I molecules, expressed at varying levels on the majority of nucleated cells. The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a cluster of genes that are important in the immune response to infections. In mice, this complex is referred to as the histocompatibility 2 (H-2) region.The epitope recognized by clone 2G5 is conformation dependent and is reported to be phylogenetically conserved (Claesson et al. 1994). Reactivity has been observed with some canine samples suggesting that this antibody may recognize a polymorphic epitope of canine MHC class I.
