Background
HLA-DR (human leukocyte antigen -DR isotype) is an MHC (major histocompatibility complex) class II protein and it serves as a ligand for the TCR (T cell receptor) when combined with an immunogenic peptide. Matching HLA isotypes is crucial in organ transplant, with HLA-DR being the main HLA isotype responsible for graft-versus host disease during the first 6 months post-transplant. A number of auto-immune diseases are linked to HLA-DR, including Crohn’s disease, lupus, and multiple sclerosis. HLA-DR is found in a subset of NK cells that combine properties from NK and dendritic cells. They are able to produce and release cytokines, degranulate and expand, but also present antigens to CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. The identification of HLA isotypes and understanding of the mechanisms of action of HLA-DR are thus crucial in medicine.
Storage/Stability
At least 12 months at -80°C.
Assay Conditions
The antibody was validated by ELISA. HLA-DR protein was coated onto a 96-well plate overnight at 4°C (50 µl/well at a concentration of 4 µg/ml in PBS). The plate was washed 3 times with Immuno Buffer 1 (BPS Bioscience #79311) and blocked using 100 µl of Blocking Buffer 2 (BPS Bioscience #79728) for 1 hour at room temperature. After removing the blocking buffer and washes, the plate was incubated with Streptavidin-HRP (BioLegend #405210), washed, and incubated with the Colorimetric HRP substrate. The reaction was stopped, and absorbance was read at 450 nm. The Blank value was subtracted from all values.
Instructions for Use
Thaw on ice and gently mix prior to use. DO NOT VORTEX. Perform a quick spin before opening. Aliquot into small volumes and flash freeze for long term storage. Avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles.
Applications
Useful for the study the binding of HLA-DR in ELISA and in cellular assays.
