MHC Class II (I-A/I-E) Monoclonal Antibody (M5/114.15.2), eFluor 450

Catalog Number:

48-5321-82

We are seeking to understand the role of kidney resident macrophages in kidney inflammation. Our flow data show that macrophages in the kidney are MHC II+ and we wanted to confirm this by IF. We picked this MHC Class II antibody because it worked well at e450 channel.
