Anti-HLA-B27 Antibody, clone HLA.ABC.m3

32160702

This antibody binds strongly to the HLA-B27 antigen. It also binds less strongly to the HLA-B7 antigen. Affinity studies by Scatchard analysis showed that the antibody has a higher affinity for HLA-B27 (9.7x108M-1) than for HLA-B7

(9.5x107M-1).

Cell reactivity:

Flow cytometric analysis of lymphocyte staining for HLA-B27 gave the following results:



Subjects Fluorescence Intensity

Heterozygous HLA-B27+ Strong

Homozygous HLA-B7+ Strong

Heterozygous HLA-B7+ Faint

Non B27, Non B7 Negative

This antibody is useful in the investigation of HLA-B27 in diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis and anterior uveitis.
