Mouse anti Cat MHC Class II

Description:

Mouse anti cat MHC Class II antibody, clone PF6J-6D recognizes an epitope within the ~29-31 kDa beta chain region of cat MHC class II molecules which are expressed by antigen presenting cells, B cells, monocytes and activated T lymphocytes.

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a cluster of genes that are important in the immune response to infections. In cats, this is referred to as the feline leukocyte antigen (FLA) region.

The complex retrovirus FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus), is responsible for a progressive and debilitating immune deficiency syndrome in domestic cats, similar to that caused by the human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the intensity of MHC Class II expression on cat lymphocyte membranes has been found to vary in association with feline retrovirus infections.
