• Specificity: Clone 2K9 is a ZooMAb rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects human MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence B (MICB). It targets an epitope within 20 amino acids from the N-terminal region.
• Immunogen: KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 20 amino acids from the N-terminal, extracellular domain of human MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence B (MICB).
• Application: Anti-MICB, clone 2K9 ZooMAb, Cat No. ZRB1439, is a recombinant Rabbit monoclonal antibody that specifically targets MICB and is tested in Affinity Binding Assay, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin), and Western Blotting.
• Target description: MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence B (UniProt: Q29980; also known as MIC-B, MICB) is encoded by the MICB (also known as PERB11.2) gene (Gene ID: 4277) in human. MICB is a single-pass type I membrane protein that is widely expressed and acts as a stress-induced self-antigen. It is widely expressed with the exception of the central nervous system. It is also expressed in many, but not all, epithelial tumors of lung, breast, kidney, ovary, prostate and colon. It is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-22), which is subsequently cleaved off to generate the mature form that contains an extracellular domain (aa 23-309), a transmembrane domain (aa 310-330), and a cytoplasmic domain (aa 331-383). MICB can be induced by heat shock, oxidative stress, retinoic acid, interferon alpha, and 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine. Its induction by interferon alpha is impaired in subjects with chronic hepatitis C virus infection. It is recognized by gamma-delta T cells and serves as ligands for the KLRK1/NKG2D receptor. Its binding to KLRK1 leads to cell lysis. Mutations in MICB gene have been linked to Rheumatoid arthritis that is characterized by inflammatory changes in the synovial membranes and articular structures, along with widespread fibrinoid degeneration of the collagen fibers in mesenchymal tissues. This ZooMAb recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
• Physical form: Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in lyophilized from PBS with 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin.
