Beta-2 Microglobulin (Renal Failure & Tumor Marker) (clone 246-E9.E7; same as HLA.ABC.m2 ), anti-human

Background:
Recognizes a protein of 12kDa, identified as β-microglobulin. β-microglobulin non-covalently associates with the 44kDa chain to form the HLA Class I antigen complex. Human β-2 microglobulin associated with HLA Class I antigens is expressed on many types of cells including lymphocytes, thymocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, platelets, endothelial cells, and epithelial cells. It is absent on erythrocytes. This MAb is specific to human β-2 microglobulin and does not react with non-human primate cells. This antibody reacts with all cell types excluding erythrocytes. The detection of β-2 microglobulin in body fluids has been used as a tumor marker and for monitoring patients with HIV infection.
