Beta-2 Microglobulin (Renal Failure & Tumor Marker) (clone SPM374 ), anti-human

Background:
Recognizes a protein of 12kDa, identified as ļ� �ļ€ �ļ€ �microglobulin. Beta-ļ€ �-microglobulin non-covalently associates with the 44kDa ļ�� chain to form the HLA Class I antigen complex. Humanļ€ļ� �eta-ļ€ �-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 humanļ€ļ� �ļ€ �-microglobulin and does not react with non-human primate cells. This antibody reacts with all cell types excluding erythrocytes. The detection of Ć�2Āmicroglobulin in body fluids has been used as a tumor marker and for monitoring patients with HIV infection.
