The M5/114.15.2 monoclonal antibody binds to mouse MHC Class II alloantigens I-A^b, I-A^d, I-A^q, I-E^d, and I-E^k, as well as being cross-reactive with mouse cells of H-2^p and H-2^r haplotypes. MHC Class II is widely expressed by mouse immune cells bearing these alloantigens, including T and B cells, monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. The antibody does not react with the following alloantigens: I-A^f, I-A^k, I-A^s, or NOD H-2^g7.The M5/114.15.2 antibody may be used for analysis of mouse cells expressing MHC Class II alloantigens as described. Please note that the M5/114.15.2 clone may also be referred to as M5/114 in the literature. The antibody was conjugated to a fluorophore and purified by chromatography.
