Overview
HLA-class I major histocompatibility (MHC) antigens are intrinsic membrane glycoproteins expressed on nucleated cells and noncovalently associated with an invariant beta2 microglobulin. They carry foreign determinants important for immune recognition by cytotoxic T cells, thus important for anti-viral and anti-tumour defence. Human HLA-class I antigens are represented by HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-C molecules.
Specificity:
The antibody MEM-123 reacts with an extracellular epitope of all human classical MHC Class I molecules (major histocompatibility complex) in native cell-surface forms as well as with human HLA-G cDNA transfected cells. MHC Class I molecules (MHC Class Ia) are expressed on the surface of all human cell types. The antibody MEM-123 completely blocks binding of classical W6/32 to surface-expressed HLA-G, but does not cross-blocks the antibody MEM-G/9.
