Major histocompatibility complex class II DR beta 1 (HLA-DRB1) is a transmembrane glycoprotein encoded by the HLA-DRB1 gene that forms the beta chain of the HLA-DR antigen receptor complex. HLA-DRB1 Antibody for IHC is used to visualize the distribution of this antigen-presenting molecule within formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues by immunohistochemistry, enabling evaluation of immune cell populations and tissue immune activity directly within histologic sections.
The HLA-DR complex is a heterodimer composed of an invariant alpha chain encoded by HLA-DRA and a polymorphic beta chain encoded primarily by HLA-DRB1. Together these proteins assemble into a cell surface receptor responsible for presenting processed peptide antigens to CD4-positive helper T lymphocytes. This antigen presentation pathway is central to adaptive immune activation, coordinating interactions between antigen-presenting cells and T lymphocytes. As a result, expression of HLA-DR molecules is characteristic of professional antigen-presenting cells including B lymphocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and activated monocytes.
Immunohistochemistry analysis of HLA-DRB1 provides valuable insight into immune cell distribution within tissues. In lymphoid organs such as tonsil, lymph node, and spleen, strong membranous staining is typically observed in B-cell zones, interfollicular antigen-presenting cells, and dendritic cell populations. Macrophages and other antigen-presenting cells within inflammatory infiltrates may also demonstrate prominent HLA-DR expression. This staining pattern allows pathologists and researchers to identify immune cell populations and evaluate immune responses within normal tissues, inflammatory lesions, and tumor microenvironments.
HLA-DRB1 is highly polymorphic, with numerous allelic variants contributing to diversity in peptide binding and immune recognition across human populations. Variation in HLA-DRB1 has been associated with susceptibility to autoimmune diseases, transplant compatibility, and immune response variability. Because of these biological roles, antibodies targeting HLA-DRB1 are widely used in tissue-based immunohistochemistry studies examining immune infiltration, antigen-presenting cell localization, and immune activation in research and diagnostic settings.
A recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody such as clone MSVA-478R enables consistent immunohistochemical detection of HLA-DR beta chain expression in tissue sections. The resulting staining typically highlights membranous and cytoplasmic patterns in antigen-presenting immune cells within lymphoid tissues and immune infiltrates, supporting morphological assessment of immune cell distribution in histologic specimens.
1. Optimal dilution of the HLA-DRB1 Antibody for IHC MSVA-478R should be determined by the researcher.
2. This HLA-DRB1/Major histocompatibility complex class II DR beta 1 chain antibody is recombinantly produced by expression in CHO cells.
3. Manual Protocol: Freshly cut sections should be used (less than 10 days between cutting and staining). Heat-induced antigen retrieval for 5 minutes in an autoclave at 121oC in pH 7.8 Target Retrieval Solution buffer. Apply the antibody at a dilution of 1:150 at 37oC for 60 minutes. Visualization of bound antibody by the EnVision Kit (Dako, Agilent) according to the manufacturer's directions.
