Flow Cytometry (Intracellular) - Anti-beta 2 Microglobulin antibody [EP2978Y] (AB75853)
Intracellular Flow Cytometry analysis of HeLa (human cervix adenocarcinoma) cells labelling beta 2 Microglobulin with purified ab75853 at 1/20 (red). Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilised with 90% methanol. An Alexa Fluor® 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1/2000) was used as the secondary antibody. Black - Isotype control, rabbit monoclonal IgG. Blue - Unlabelled control, cells without incubation with primary and secondary antibodies.

Flow Cytometry (Intracellular) - Anti-beta 2 Microglobulin antibody [EP2978Y] (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.

Western blot - Anti-beta 2 Microglobulin antibody [EP2978Y] (AB75853)
Western blot : Anti-B2M antibody [EP2978Y] (ab75853) staining at 1/5000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-Alpha Tubulin [DM1A] (ab7291) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in magenta. In Western blot, ab75853 was shown to bind specifically to B2M. A band was observed at 13 kDa in wild-type A549 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in B2M knockout cell line. To generate this image, wild-type and B2M knockout A549 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 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.

Biological function summary
Beta-2-microglobulin is important for the stability and transport of MHC class I molecules to the cell surface. As part of the MHC class I complex B2M assists in binding peptides allowing immune cells to identify and target pathogen-infected cells. Without B2M the MHC class I molecules are not properly expressed on the cell surface disrupting immune recognition. In laboratory settings researchers often use anti-beta-2-microglobulin antibodies to investigate its role in MHC class I function.
Pathways
Beta-2-microglobulin interacts significantly with the immune system most notably in the antigen processing and presentation pathway. It works alongside proteins such as the heavy chain of MHC class I. B2M is important in the pathway that involves the transport of antigens to the endoplasmic reticulum where they are loaded onto MHC class I molecules for inspection by cytotoxic T cells. Another related pathway is the tapasin-mediated processing of antigen peptides highlighting the indispensable role of B2M in immune response regulation.
