cFluor^® V715 Anti-Human HLA-DR (L243)

The mouse monoclonal antibody clone L243 binds to the human HLA-DR antigen, a 36 kDa alpha heavy chain, and a 27 kDa beta light chain heterodimeric cell surface glycoprotein in the transmembrane major histocompatibility complex 2 (MHC II) family. HLA-DR, also known as human leukocyte antigen DR isotype, is present on the surface of antigen-presenting cells including, B cells, dendritic cells, macrophages, monocytes, and activated T cells. MHC class II regulates the immune system by playing a critical role in binding and presenting antigen-derived peptides to peptide-MHC II-specific CD4 T cells. The L243 clone identifies HLA-DR molecules, whether peptide-loaded or unoccupied. It does not exhibit cross-reactivity with HLA-DP and HLA-DQ. Clone L243 interacts with a conformational epitope on HLA-DRα, contingent upon the proper folding of the αβ heterodimer.

For flow cytometric staining, the suggested use of this reagent is 5 μL per 1 million cells in a staining volume of 100 μL. If whole blood is analyzed, then use 5 μL per 100 μL. It is recommended that users titrate the antibody to obtain the optimal result for their specific application. Please briefly centrifuge the reagent vial before use. Use appropriate personal protective equipment per the product safety data sheet when using this product. REFERENCES Knapp W. 1989. Leucocyte Typing IV. Oxford University Press New York.
