Product Name:

Anti-Mouse MHC Class II I-Ad APC

Catalog Number:

17-5323

We used this antibody to measure I-Ad levels from BALB/c or BALB/c x B6 mice. This antibody was particularly useful when we needed to distinguish BALB/c and B6 MHC II molecules. Our research investigates antigen processing and presentation pathways in different subsets of murine lymphocytes and splenocytes.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Results Summary

The I-Ad antibody specifically stains I-Ad and does not cross-react with B6 MHC II molecules.

Additional Notes

Summary

The Good

Specific staining

The Bad

Staining is not as strong as other MHC II antibodies available

The Bottom Line

This antibody works well if you need to distinguish MHC II molecules from BALB/c (or other I-Ad strains) mice from B6 mice.
