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 W6/32 recognises an extracellular epitope of MHC Class I molecules (MHC Class Ia) that are expressed on the surface of all human nucleated cell types. The antibody W6/32 is a valuable reagent for analysing variations in HLA class I expression in different disease states e.g. liver disease, muscular dystrophy, inflammatory myopathy and other neuromuscular disorders. This antibody W6/32 is also suitable as a positive control for HLA tissue typing and crossmatching.
