HLA Class 1 Antigen A3 (R0.90) (Biotin)

The human leukocyte antigen system (HLA) is the name of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in humans and is an essential element for immune function. This group of genes re- sides on chromosome 6, and encodes cell-surface antigen- presenting proteins and many other genes. Different classes have different functions: HLA class I antigens (A, B & C) present peptides from inside the cell, including viral peptides if present. These peptides are produced from digested proteins that are broken down in the proteasomes. Foreign antigens attract killer T-cells (also called CD8+ or cytotoxic T-cells) that destroy cells.\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in Flow Cytometry. Other potential applications include Cell Typing, Tissue Staining and Chimerism Studies. \n\nRecommended Dilutions:\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nSource:\nAscites fluid\n\nStorage and Stability: \nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
