HLA-DM Antibody, anti-human, FITC, REAfinity™

01MT11815

Clone REA406 recognizes the human HLA-DM antigen, a non-classical MHC class II molecule (MHC II) chaperone that works in lysosomes and endosomes. MHC II molecules are transmembrane glycoproteins which function by binding processed antigenic peptides and presenting them to CD4+ T lymphocytes to initiate or maintain a specific immune response. Constitutive MHC II expression is restricted to professional antigen presenting cells including dendritic cells (DCs), B cells, and macrophages and to the epithelial cells of the thymus. Functional class II expression is highly dependent on the expression
