The L243 monoclonal antibody binds to the human HLA-DR antigen, a 36-kDa alpha heavy chain and a 27-kDa beta light chain heterodimeric cell surface glycoprotein in transmembrane major histocompatibility complex 2 (MHC II) family ⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾. HLA-DR, also known as human leukocyte antigen DR isotype, is present on the surface of antigen-presenting cells, including B cells, dendritic cells, macrophages, monocytes and activate T cells. MHC class II regulates the immune system by playing a critical role in binding and presenting antigen-derived peptides to peptide-MHC II-specific CD4 T cells ⁽³⁾. The antibody was conjugated to a fluorophore and purified by affinity chromatography.

RECOMMENDED USAGE

Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested using flow cytometric analysis. For flow cytometric staining, the suggested use of this reagent is 5 µL per 1 million cells in a staining volume of 100 µL. If whole blood is analyzed, then use 5 µL per 100 µL. It is recommended that users titrate the antibody to obtain the optimal result for their specific application.
