Description

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

The 6A8.6F10.1A6 monoclonal antibody reacts with the Qa-1[b] alloantigen, which is a nonclassical MHC class I (Class Ib) molecule encoded by the T23 /gene of the H-2 /complex. Qa-1 associates withβ2-microglobulin and is expressed at low levels on most leukocytes and many other cell types. Its level of cell-surface expression is upregulated by IFNγor specific peptides. Qa-1 is an oligomorphic molecule which presents a limited pool of peptides to T lymphocytes bearingαβandγδTCR and binds to a large subpopulation of NK cells. In fact, Qa-1[b] is the ligand for CD94/NKG2A, CD94/NKG2C, and CD94/NKG2E receptors, which are expressed on NK cells. Furthermore, it has been reported that Qa-1 expressed on activated B lymphocytes is involved in immunoregulation by inducing T-cell-mediated suppression of antibody responses. The 6A8.6F10.1A6 mAb can detect Qa-1[b] on activated splenocytes from C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice (both Qa-1[b]), but not from A/j mice (Qa-1[a]), and it can block target cell recognition by CTLs specific for Qa-1-presented antigen.

The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BUV395 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Ultraviolet family of dyes. This dye has been exclusively developed by BD Biosciences to have minimal spillover into other detectors, making it an optimal choice for multicolor flow cytometry. With an Ex Max at 348 nm and an Em Max at 395 nm, BD Horizon BUV395 can be excited with a 355 nm laser and detected with a 379/28 filter. BUV395 is a UV-excitable dye that has been developed exclusively by BD Biosciences. With an excitation max of 348 nm and emission max of 395 nm, BUV395 can be excited by the 355nm laser and detected in a 379/28 filter. This dye is optimal for multicolor flow cytometry because it has little to no spillover into other detectors.
