Tool Details
- Tool name: Anti-HLA-G [o1G]
- Clone: 01G
- Tool type: Antibody
- Tool sub-type: Primary Antibody
- Class: Monoclonal
- Reactivity: Human
- Host: Mouse
- Cancer type: Skin cancer; Breast cancer; Genitourinary cancer; Blood cancer
- Molecular weight of the target: The heavy chain is approximately 45 kDa
- Application: Immunohistochemistry (Frozen), Immunocytochemistry, Flow Cytometry, ELISA, Immunoprecipitation. No western
- Description: HLA-G has long been assumed a major factor in immune accommodation because of its localized expression and low levels of allelic polymorphism. This MoAb were developed to examine the role of all three nonclassical class I Ags in the maternal immune response during pregnancy. 0lG was developed to react specifically with the membrane form of HLA-G.
- Isotype: IgG1
- Research area: Immunology; Developmental biology
- For Research Use Only
Target Details
- Target: Membrane-bound form of HLA-G (full-length HLA-G1)
- Target molecular weight: The heavy chain is approximately 45 kDa
- Target background: HLA-G are expressed in the placenta, a membrane form and a soluble form, the latter containing an altered carboxyl terminu. HLA-G 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 (?2 microglobulin). The heavy chain is anchored in the membrane.
Application Details
- Application: Immunohistochemistry (Frozen), Immunocytochemistry, Flow Cytometry, ELISA, Immunoprecipitation. No western
- Application notes: A good starting concentration for immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunofluorescence (IF), and immunocytochemistry (ICC) when using mouse Ig is 2-5 ug/ml. For western blots, the recommended concentration range of mouse Ig 0.2-0.5 ug/ml. In general, rabbit antibodies demonstrate greater affinity and are used at a magnitude lower Ig concentration for initial testing. The recommended concentrations for rabbit Ig are 0.2-0.5 ug/ml (IF, IHC and ICC) and 20-50 ng/ml (WB)
Handling
