Description: Recognizes a protein of 12kDa, identified as microglobulin. Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class 1 molecules bind to antigens for presentation on the surface of cells. The proteasome is responsible for producing these antigens from the components of foreign pathogens. MHC class 1 molecules consist of an alpha- heavy chain that contains three subdomains (alpha-1, alpha-2, alpha-3) and a non-covalent associating light chain, known as beta-2-Microglobulin. Beta-2-Microglobulin associates with the alpha-3 subdomain of the alpha- heavy chain and forms an immunoglobulin domain-like structure that mediates proper folding and expression of MHC class 1 molecules. The alpha-1 and alpha-2 domains of the alpha- heavy chain form the peptide antigen-binding cleft. Mutations in the beta-2-Microglobulin gene can enhance the progression of malignant melanoma phenotypes.
Immunogen: MOLT-4 human T cell line was used as the immunogen for the Beta-2 Microglobulin antibody.
Storage: Store the Beta-2 Microglobulin antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20 °C or colder (without azide).
