General notes
ab214769 is the carrier-free version of ab75853.
Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.
This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.
Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with <1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.
This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.
This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:
- - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
- - Improved sensitivity and specificity
- - Long-term security of supply
- - Animal-free production
Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

Target
-
Function
Component of the class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Involved in the presentation of peptide antigens to the immune system. -
Involvement in disease
Defects in B2M are the cause of hypercatabolic hypoproteinemia (HYCATHYP) [MIM:241600]. Affected individuals show marked reduction in serum concentrations of immunoglobulin and albumin, probably due to rapid degradation.
Note=Beta-2-microglobulin may adopt the fibrillar configuration of amyloid in certain pathologic states. The capacity to assemble into amyloid fibrils is concentration dependent. Persistently high beta(2)-microglobulin serum levels lead to amyloidosis in patients on long-term hemodialysis. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the beta-2-microglobulin family.
Contains 1 Ig-like C1-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain. -
Post-translational
modificationsGlycation of Ile-21 is observed in long-term hemodialysis patients. -
Cellular localization
Secreted. Detected in serum and urine. - Information by UniProt

This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab75853).
Flow cytometry overlay histogram showing C57 BL/6 mouse splenocytes stained with ab75853 (red line). Cells were fixed and permeabilised with BD Cytofix/Cytoperm™ for 20 min. The cells were incubated in 1x PBS containing 10μg/ml anti CD16/CD32 and 10% normal goat serum to block FC receptors and non-specific protein-protein interaction followed by the antibody (ab75853) (1x 106 in 100μl at 0.2 μg/ml (1/11300)) for 30min on ice.
The secondary antibody Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed was incubated at 1/4000 for 30min on ice
Isotype control antibody (black line) was Recombinant Rabbit IgG, monoclonal [EPR25A] - Isotype Control used at the same concentration and conditions as the primary antibody. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control.
Acquisition of >5000 events were collected using a 50 mW Blue laser (488nm) and 525/40 bandpass filter.

Predicted band size: 14 kDa
Observed band size: 12 kDa why is the actual band size different from the predicted?False colour image of Western blot: Anti-beta 2 Microglobulin antibody [EP2978Y] staining at 1/5000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-Alpha Tubulin [DM1A] (ab7291) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab75853 was shown to bind specifically to beta 2 Microglobulin. A band was observed at 12 kDa in wild-type HEK-293T cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in B2M knockout cell line ab266828 (knockout cell lysate ab256845). To generate this image, wild-type and B2M knockout HEK-293T cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in fluorescent western blot (TBS-based) blocking solution before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged.Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) at 1/20000 dilution.

ab75853 Anti-beta 2 Microglobulin antibody [EP2978Y] was shown to specifically react with beta 2 Microglobulin in wild-type HepG2 cells. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab262325 (knockout cell lysate ab256846) was used. Wild-type and beta 2 Microglobulin knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab75853 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (ab8245) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1 in 1000 dilution and 1 in 20000 dilution respectively.
