I am looking for anti-HLA-E antibodies for FACS and Western. I found 4 anti-HLA-E antibodies from your website and I have some technical questions about them, such as, what does "cross-reacts with human" mean on your data sheet when it states "it does not cross-react with HLA-A,-B, -C or -G", and for the other three anti-HLA-E antibodies how serious the cross-reactive problem is. Do you have a technical service number for customers in the US? For ordering, do you have special discount for a bulk purchasing?
|

ANSWER: |
Thank you for your email. Cross-reactivity on our product datasheets refers to what species the antibody has been tested for cross-reactivity with. For example, in the case of ab2216, the antibody has been shown to detect human HLA E. It has not yet been determined as to whether the antibody will detect mouse HLA E, for instance. All the information, including cross-reactivity, that we have regarding our antibodies is located on the online datasheets. We do have discounts for bulk orders - ordering more than 2 vials of the same antibody. If you have any additional questions, please do let me know.

I have used the HLA-E antibody for Western blotting and gotten two seemingly very specific bands on my film. What are the molecular weight of the HLA-E part(s) that the antibody regognises? Many thanks. Best Regards |
|||||||||
ANSWER: |
This antibody recognizes the 43 kDa HLA-E heavy chain and does not cross-react with denatured form of HLA-A,-B,-C alleles (no band at 45 kDa observed). The specifity was confirmed at HLA-G/HLA-E. Workshop and publication should appear soon in Human Immunology. |

IHC image of ab2216 staining in human tonsil formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica BondTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab2216, 1µg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.
For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.
ab2216 staining HLA E in Human brain tissue sections by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-Fr - frozen sections). Tissue was permeabilized with methanol + 1% H2O2. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/100 in 4% serum + 1% BSA + 0.01% azide) for 12 hours. A Biotin-conjugated Horse anti-mouse IgG monoclonal (1/100) was used as the secondary antibody.
