Immunogen
Synthesized peptide derived from human CD74
Specificity
This antibody detects endogenous levels of human CD74. Heat-induced epitope retrieval (HIER) TRIS-EDTA of pH8.0 was highly recommended as antigen repair method in paraffin section
Source
Mouse, Monoclonal/IgG1, Kappa
Formulation
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.
Dilution rate
IHC-p 1:100-500, WB 1:200-1000. IF 1:50-200
Purification process (Immunogen)
The antibody was affinity-purified from mouse ascites by affinity-chromatography using specific immunogen.
Background
The protein encoded by this gene associates with class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and is an important chaperone that regulates antigen presentation for immune response. It also serves as cell surface receptor for the cytokine macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) which, when bound to the encoded protein, initiates survival pathways and cell proliferation. This protein also interacts with amyloid precursor protein (APP) and suppresses the production of amyloid beta (Abeta). Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011],
Function
function:Plays a critical role in MHC class II antigen processing by stabilizing peptide-free class II alpha/beta heterodimers in a complex soon after their synthesis and directing transport of the complex from the endoplasmic reticulum to compartments where peptide loading of class II takes place.,similarity:Contains 1 thyroglobulin type-1 domain.,subunit:Nonamer composed of three alpha/beta/gamma heterotrimers.,
Other name
HLA class II histocompatibility antigen gamma chain (HLA-DR antigens-associated invariant chain;Ia antigen-associated invariant chain;Ii;p33;CD antigen CD74)
Fields
>>Antigen processing and presentation;>>Tuberculosis;>>Herpes simplex virus 1 infection
