Description

The M5/114.15.2 monoclonal antibody reacts with the mouse major histocompatibility complex class II, both I-A and I-E subregion-encoded glycoproteins (I-A^b, I-A^d, I-A^q, I-E^d, I-E^k, not I-A^f, I-A^k, or I-A^s). It detects a polymorphic determinant present on B cells, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and activated T lymphocytes from mice carrying the H-2^b, H-2^d, H-2^q, H-2^p, H-2^r and H-2^u but not from mice carrying the H-2^s or H-2^f haplotypes. The M5/114 mAb is reported to inhibit I-A-restricted T cell responses of the H-2^b, H-2^d, H-2^q, H-2^u but not H-2^f, H-2^k, or H-2^s haplotypes.

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. This M5/114.15.2 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.

The Alexa Fluor® 700 emits at 723 nm and can be excited with the He-Ne 633 laser. Most instruments will require a 685 LP mirror and 710/20 filter. Please make sure that your instrument is capable of detecting this fluorochome.

Applications Tested

This M5/114.15.2 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse splenocytes. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.06 μg per million cells in a 100 μl total staining volume. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.
