Purity:Purified by Protein G affinity chromatography.
Form:Supplied as a lyophilized powder from PBS, pH 7.2, 0.09% sodium azide, 1% BSA. Labeled with R. Phycoerythrin (RPE). Reconstitute with 1ml sterile 40-50% glycerol, ddH2O.
Specificity:Recognizes a monomorphic determinant of the rat I-A antigen present on B lymphocytes, dendritic cells, some macrophages and certain epithelial cells (2,3,4). The antibody cross-reacts with certain mouse strains of MHC haplotypes k and s and analysis of recombinant strains showed that the determinants mapped to the I-A region of the mouse MHC (1,2). Species Crossreactivity: Mouse. Does not recognize BDIX rat strain (6).
