HLA-DQ1/3 Antibody (HL-37) is a mouse monoclonal IgG3 antibody that detects the HLA-DQ1/3 protein of human origin by western blotting (WB) (non-reducing), immunoprecipitation (IP), and flow cytometry (FCM). Anti-HLA-DQ1/3 antibody (HL-37) is available as a non-conjugated format. HLA-DQ1/3 plays a crucial role in the immune system as a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecule, which is essential for presenting peptide antigens to CD4+ T lymphocytes. This process is vital for initiating and regulating immune responses, particularly in the context of autoimmune diseases and transplant rejection. HLA-DQ1/3 consists of a 33-35 kDa alpha chain and a 26-28 kDa beta chain, forming a heterodimer that can effectively bind and present a diverse array of peptides. HLA-DQ1/3′s ability to present specific antigens is influenced by conformational changes, modulated by interactions with other proteins such as HLA-DM and HLA-DO, ensuring that only the most relevant peptides are presented to T cells. Understanding HLA-DQ1/3′s structure and function is critical for developing targeted therapies in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, where specific polymorphisms in HLA genes have been linked to disease susceptibility.
