Flow Cytometry - Anti-MHC class I antibody [OX18] - BSA and Azide free (AB244556)

This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation (ab6405).

Lewis rat splenocytes stained with ab6405 (right) or mouse IgG1 kappa; (ab170190) isotype (left). Cells were incubated for 30 min on ice in 1x PBS containing 10 % rat serum to block FC receptors and non-specific protein-protein interaction followed by the antibody (ab6405) or mouse IgG1 kappa; (ab170190) isotype (1x 106 in 100 μL at 0.2 μg/mL) for 30 min on ice. The secondary antibody Goat anti-mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488, pre-adsorbed) (ab150117) was used at 1/2000 dilution for 30 min on ice. The cells were simultaneously stained with CD3. Acquisition of >30,000 events were collected using a 50 mW Blue laser (488nm) and 530/30 bandpass filter. Events were gated on live single cells.

Immunohistochemistry (Frozen sections) - Anti-MHC class I antibody [OX18] - BSA and Azide free (AB244556)

IHC image of MHC Class I staining in a section of frozen normal rat placenta*.

The section was fixed using 10% formaldehyde in 1XPBS for 10 minutes. No antigen retrieval step was performed prior to staining. Non-specific protein-protein interactions were then blocked in TBS containing 0.025% (v/v) Triton X-100, 0.3M glycine and 1% (w/v) BSA for 1h at room temperature. The section was then incubated overnight at +4°C in TBS containing 0.025% (v/v) Triton X-100 and 1% (w/v) BSA with ab6405 (shown in green) at 1 μg/ml. The section was then incubated with ab150117 (Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Mouse IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488, 1/1000)) presabsorbed for 1 hour at room temperature. The secondary-only control image is taken from an identical assay without primary antibody. The section was then mounted using Fluoromount® .

Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).

For IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated), customers should optimize variable parameters such as antibody concentrations and incubation times.

*Tissue obtained from Charles River.

MHC class I also known as MHC-1 or simply MHC I is a molecule playing an important role in the immune system. The molecule is a heterodimer composed of a heavy chain weighing around 45 kDa and a light chain. MHC class I molecules are expressed on nearly all nucleated cells in the body. They present peptide fragments from intracellular proteins to CD8+ T cells helping the immune system recognize and destroy infected or cancerous cells. Alternate names like H-2Kd/H-2Dd in mice highlight its role in antigen presentation across different species.
Biological function summary

The molecules of MHC class I form part of the adaptive immune system. They act as a complex with peptides which are derived from proteins degraded by the proteasome. The peptide-MHC I complex travels to the cell surface where it engages with the T cell receptor (TCR) on cytotoxic T cells. This interaction is essential for immune surveillance ensuring the body identifies cells that might compromise health such as those infected by viruses or transformed malignantly.

Pathways

The function of MHC class I integrates into the antigen processing and presentation pathways. It is pivotal in the proteasome-dependent pathway for processing endogenous antigens. Proteins like TAP (transporter associated with antigen processing) assist in transporting peptides into the endoplasmic reticulum for loading onto MHC class I. This pathway is central to cellular immunity and intersects with various immune response cascades.

MHC class I has associations with autoimmune disorders and certain viral infections. Aberrant expression or mutations can lead to diseases like Ankylosing Spondylitis or impact responses to chronic viral infections such as HIV. The involvement of MHC class I in presenting viral peptides often links it to immune evasion mechanisms utilizable by viruses. Hence this protein works closely with immune system proteins like cytokines influencing disease outcomes.

Target data

Antigen-presenting major histocompatibility complex class I (MHCI) molecule. In complex with B2M/beta 2 microglobulin displays primarily viral and tumor-derived peptides on antigen-presenting cells for recognition by alpha-beta T cell receptor (TCR) on HLA-A-restricted CD8-positive T cells, guiding antigen-specific T cell immune response to eliminate infected or transformed cells (PubMed : 10449296, PubMed : 12138174, PubMed : 12393434, PubMed : 1402688, PubMed : 15893615, PubMed : 17189421, PubMed : 19543285, PubMed : 21498667, PubMed : 24192765, PubMed : 24395804, PubMed : 2456340, PubMed : 2784196, PubMed : 28250417, PubMed : 7504010, PubMed : 7694806, PubMed : 9862734). May also present self-peptides derived from the signal sequence of secreted or membrane proteins, although T cells specific for these peptides are usually inactivated to prevent autoreactivity (PubMed : 25880248, PubMed : 7506728, PubMed : 7679507). Both the peptide and the MHC molecule are recognized by TCR, the peptide is responsible for the fine specificity of antigen recognition and MHC residues account for the MHC restriction of T cells (PubMed : 12796775, PubMed : 18275829, PubMed : 19542454, PubMed : 28250417). Typically presents intracellular peptide antigens of 8 to 13 amino acids that arise from cytosolic proteolysis via IFNG-induced immunoproteasome or via endopeptidase IDE/insulin-degrading enzyme (PubMed : 17079320, PubMed : 17189421, PubMed : 20364150, PubMed : 26929325, PubMed : 27049119).
