Human leukocyte antigen A α-chain (HLA-A2) is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 6p22.1. HLA-A belongs to the class I molecules of HLa family. The protein structure consists of two polypeptide chains, heavy chain and the non-covalently attached light chain.
The antibody BB7.2 recognizes an epitope at the C-terminus of alpha-2 helix and a turn on one of the underlying beta strands within the human HLA-A2 histocompatibility antigen.
The previously assigned protein identifier P01891 has been merged into P04439. Full details can be found on the UniProt database.
Immunogen
HLA-A2 solubilized by papain
Application
The reagent is designed for Flow Cytometry analysis of human blood cells using 20 μL reagent / 100 μL of whole blood or 1e6 cells in a suspension. The content of a vial (2 mL) is sufficient for 100 tests.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Human leukocyte antigen A α-chain (HLA-A2) plays a major role in peptide antigen presentation. The encoded protein interacts with cytotoxic T cells (CTL) and facilitates the identification of peptide derived from the influenza matrix protein.
