Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody to MHC class I

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules form an integral part of the immune response system. They are cell~surface receptors that bind peptides and present them to T lymphocytes. HLA~A, ~B and ~C encode membrane anchored heavy chains which heterodimerize with a light chain (b~2~Microglobulin) to form MHC~I. Polymorphisms yield hundreds of HLA~A, ~B and ~C alleles.
