Description: This YKIX334.2 monoclonal antibody reacts with canine major histocompatibility complex (MHC) Class II. The MHC plays a significant role in immunity by presenting self and non-self antigens to T cells. In dogs, MHC Class II is expressed on all T and B cells, macrophages, fibroblasts, and kidney interstitial cells.
This monoclonal antibody has been reported to inhibit mixed lymphocyte reactions and T cell activation induced by MHC Class II antigen presentation in vitro. Also, YKIX334.2 recognition of MHC Class II is not allele-specific.
