Description:Recognizes a protein of 12kDa, identified as beta-2-microglobulin. Beta-2-microglobulin non-covalently associates with the 44kDa alpha chain to form the HLA Class I antigen complex. Human beta 2 microglobulin associated with HLA Class I antigens is expressed on many types of cells including lymphocytes, thymocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, platelets, endothelial cells, and epithelial cells. It is absent on erythrocytes. This antibody reacts with all cell types excluding erythrocytes. The detection of b2-microglobulin in body fluids has been used as a tumor marker and for monitoring patients with HIV infection.Application Notes:Optimal dilution of the Beta-2 Microglobulin antibody should be determined by the researcher.Immunogen:Human PBL s from a T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) patient were 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 -20oC or colder (without azide).
