Description
MHC Class I, H-2K Monoclonal Antibody [NYRmH-2K] (CPAB0471)
The MHC Class I H-2K Polyclonal Antibody (CPAB0471) is a valuable tool for researchers studying the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) Class I molecule H-2K, an essential component in antigen presentation and immune response. This antibody, produced in rabbits, exhibits high reactivity with human samples and is validated for use in various applications, including Western blotting.H-2K is a key player in the immune system, presenting antigens to T cells and initiating immune responses against pathogens and abnormal cells. Studying the expression and function of H-2K is vital in understanding immune recognition and surveillance processes, which are crucial for the body's defense against infections and diseases.
With its specificity for the MHC Class I H-2K molecule, this antibody enables the detection and analysis of H-2K in different cell types, making it an ideal tool for research in immunology, cancer biology, and vaccine development. By investigating the role of H-2K in immune responses, researchers can gain insights that may lead to the development of targeted therapies for various diseases.

Background: | MHC Class I is a membrane spanning molecule consisting of 2 proteins. MHC Class I is just about 350 amino acids in length, with roughly 75 amino acids at the carboxylic end comprising the transmembrane and cytoplasmic portions. The remaining 270 amino acids, are divided into three globular domains labeled Alpha-1, Alpha-2 and Alpha-3 prime, with Alpha-1 being closest to the amino terminus and Alpha-3 closest to the membrane. The second portion of the molecule is a small globular protein called Beta-2 Microglobulin It links primarily with the Alpha-3 prime domain and is essential for MHC stability. The MHC ability to show a vast range of antigenic peptides for T cell recognition needs a compromise between broad specificity and high affinity. Both MHC class I and MHC class II show an exceptional structure while the peptide main chain is tightly bound and peptide side chains show less restrictive interactions. It is primarily the peptide side-chain contacts and conformational variability that ensures that the peptide-MHC complex presents an antigenically unique surface to T cell receptors. |
