Human leukocyte antigen DR alpha (HLA-DRA) is a major histocompatibility complex class II protein encoded by the HLA-DRA gene and forms the alpha chain of the HLA-DR antigen receptor responsible for presenting peptide antigens to CD4-positive T lymphocytes. HLA-DR Antibody Recombinant Rabbit MAb for IHC recognizes the HLA-DR antigen complex and supports immunohistochemistry analysis of MHC class II expression within tissue sections containing antigen-presenting immune cells.
HLA-DR is a heterodimeric receptor composed of the HLA-DRA alpha chain paired with a beta chain encoded by HLA-DRB genes. These two chains associate to form the HLA-DR antigen complex that binds peptides derived from extracellular proteins processed within endosomal compartments. The peptide-loaded HLA-DR receptor is transported to the cell surface where it presents antigenic peptides to CD4-positive helper T lymphocytes. Through this antigen presentation pathway, the HLA-DR complex plays a central role in adaptive immune activation and immune surveillance.
In immunology literature the HLA-DR receptor complex is commonly referred to simply as HLA-DR, and antibodies targeting this molecule are frequently described as HLA-DR antibodies, HLA-DR alpha antibodies, or MHC class II DR antibodies. HLA-DR antibody reagents therefore detect the HLA-DR antigen complex expressed on professional antigen-presenting cells including B lymphocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. Expression of HLA-DR alpha can also be induced by inflammatory cytokines such as interferon-gamma, leading to increased MHC class II expression during infection, autoimmune disease, inflammatory responses, and within tumor microenvironments where immune cells infiltrate tissues.
Immunohistochemistry detection of HLA-DR expression provides a useful approach for visualizing antigen-presenting immune cells within tissue architecture. Analysis of HLA-DR positive cells in tissue sections helps characterize immune infiltration, lymphoid structures, and antigen presentation activity in both normal and pathological tissues. Recombinant rabbit monoclonal clone HLA-DRA/8286R recognizes the HLA-DR antigen complex and supports detection of HLA-DR expressing immune cells in immunohistochemistry studies.
Optimal dilution of the HLA-DR antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A recombinant partial protein sequence (within amino acids 1-200) from the human protein was used as the immunogen for the HLA-DR antibody.
Aliquot the HLA-DR antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
