Note generali
Rat anti Human HLA DR antibody, clone YE2/36-HLK recognizes a monomorphic determinant of human HLA DR which is an MHC class II cell surface receptor expressed primarily on antigen presenting cells such as B lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages and activated T lymphocytes.The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a cluster of genes that are important in the immune response to infections. In humans, this complex is referred to as the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region. There are 3 major MHC class II proteins encoded by the HLA which are HLA DP, HLA DQ and HLA DR.Rat anti Human HLA DR antibody, clone YE2/36-HLK has also been reported to be cross reactive with mouse H-2 haplotypes b, d and q expressed by mouse strains including C57BL/6, DBA, and NZB (Brickell et al. 1981).
