HLA-B belongs to the HLA class I heavy chain paralogues.
This class I molecule is a heterodimer consisting of a heavy chain and a light chain (beta-2 microglobulin).
The heavy chain is anchored in the membrane.
Class I molecules play a central role in the immune system by presenting peptides derived from the endoplasmic reticulum lumen.
They are expressed in nearly all cells.
The heavy chain is approximately 45 kDa and its gene contains 8 exons.
Exon 1 encodes the leader peptide, exon 2 and 3 encode the alpha1 and alpha2 domains, which both bind the peptide, exon 4 encodes the alpha3 domain, exon 5 encodes the transmembrane region and exons 6 and 7 encode the cytoplasmic tail.
Polymorphisms within exon 2 and exon 3 are responsible for the peptide binding specificity of each class one molecule.
Typing for these polymorphisms is routinely done for bone marrow and kidney transplantation.
Hundreds of HLA-B alleles have been described.
This antibody is useful in the investigation of HLA-B27 in diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis and anterior uveitis.

Form:Supplied as a liquid in PBS, pH 7.4, 0.2% BSA, 0.09% sodium azide.
Specificity:Recognizes HLA Class 1 Antigen B27. This antibody binds strongly to the HLA-B27 antigen. It also binds less strongly to the HLA-B7 antigen. Affinity studies by Scatchard analysis showed that the antibody has a higher affinity for HLA-B27 (9.7x108M-1) than for HLA-B7
