Monoclonal Anti-HLA-DQ antibody produced in mouse

HLA-DQ molecules are bimolecular glycoprotein complexes of 29 kDa and 33 kDa components. The HLA-DQ antigens are present on peripheral blood lymphocytes and tonsillar and splenic mononuclear cells.

GM-1500 human tumor cell line.

Monoclonal Anti-HLA-DQ antibody produced in mouse is suitable for flow cytometry at a concentration of 5 μL using 1 × 10⁶ cells.

Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQ is a cell surface receptor type protein found on antigen presenting cells. DQ is a αβ heterodimer of the MHC Class II type. It plays a central role in the immune system and is expressed in antigen presenting cells. HLA-DQ expression in cystic fibrosis CF is associated with inflammation and reduces response to Interferon γ (IFNγ). HLA-DQ acts as alloantibody most frequently associated with the generation of de novo donor-specific antibody (DSA) and antibody-mediated-rejection but does not support organ transplantation.

Recognizes MHC Class II molecules that are preferentially expressed on the surface of B lymphocytes. The antibody reacts weakly with resting or ConA-activated T cells, monocytes, granulocytes, and erythrocytes.
