General description
β-2-microglobulin is part of the human leukocyte antigen, where it represents the light chain. It is expressed on cell membranes and is made up of 99 amino acids. β-2-microglobulin is part of the immunoglobulin superfamily. β−2-Microglobulin is a membrane glycoprotein of mammalian nucleated cells including lymphocytes.
Monoclonal anti-β-2-Microglobulin (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from an immunized mouse.
Immunogen
human β2-microglobulin and a lysate of a lymphoblastoid cell line.
Application
Monoclonal Anti-β2-Microglobulin antibody produced in mouse has been used in ELISA and immunofluorescent labelling.
Biochem/physiol Actions
β-2-microglobulin acts as a tumor marker and has been shown to be associated with dialysis-related amyloidosis. It may function as a structural part of the MHC Class I molecule.
Microglobulin may be elevated in the serum or urine of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis, metal toxications, some viral infections and possibly malignant disorders and AIDS.
