Pan-HLA Class II Antibody rHLA-Pan/3475 / HLA-DP/DQ/DR Antibody recognizes a common epitope of the classical human MHC class II antigens HLA-DP, HLA-DQ and HLA-DR. These cell-surface glycoproteins are central to adaptive immunity, where they present processed antigenic peptides to CD4-positive T lymphocytes. Recognition of peptide-MHC class II complexes by T cell receptors contributes to helper T cell activation and helps coordinate antigen-specific cellular and humoral immune responses.
HLA-DP, HLA-DQ and HLA-DR are heterodimeric molecules composed of non-covalently associated alpha and beta chains. The extracellular portions of both chains contribute to formation of the peptide-binding groove characteristic of MHC class II proteins. Antigens internalized by antigen-presenting cells are processed within intracellular compartments, where resulting peptides can be loaded onto MHC class II molecules. Stable peptide-HLA complexes are then transported to the plasma membrane for recognition by CD4-positive T cells.
MHC class II molecules are expressed primarily by professional antigen-presenting cells, including B lymphocytes, dendritic cells and macrophages. Expression can also occur in other cell populations following activation or inflammatory signaling. Regulation of HLA class II abundance influences the capacity of cells to present antigen and communicate with helper T lymphocytes, making these molecules important in studies of immune-cell differentiation, activation and inflammatory responses.
A Pan-HLA Class II Antibody provides broad recognition of HLA-DP, HLA-DQ and HLA-DR rather than limiting detection to an individual HLA class II locus. This allows investigation of overall MHC class II expression and complements locus-specific reagents used to distinguish DP, DQ or DR. Broad HLA class II detection is relevant to research involving antigen-presenting cells, transplantation, infectious disease, autoimmunity, inflammation and tumor immunology.
Clone rHLA-Pan/3475 is a recombinant mouse monoclonal antibody generated from an antibody raised against the human REH6 acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell line and is characterized as recognizing a common epitope of human HLA-DP, HLA-DQ and HLA-DR. NSJ Bioreagents provides this Pan-HLA Class II Antibody for research into MHC class II expression, antigen presentation and adaptive immunity. An HLA-DP/DQ/DR Antibody can support investigation of broad HLA class II expression and CD4 T cell-mediated immune recognition.

Optimal dilution of the Pan-HLA Class II Antibody rHLA-Pan/3475 / HLA-DP/DQ/DR Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
The non-T, non-B human acute lymphoblastic leukemia REH6 cell line was used as the immunogen for the Pan-HLA Class II Antibody rHLA-Pan/3475.
Store the Pan-HLA Class II Antibody rHLA-Pan/3475 at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
