Immunohistochemistry-Paraffin: HLA DRB1 Antibody (LN-3 + HLA-DRB/1067) [NBP2-45316] - Human Tonsil stained with HLA-DRB Monoclonal Antibody (LN-3 + HLA-DRB/1067). (novusbio.com)
This monoclonal antibody reacts with the beta-chain of HLA-DRB1 antigen, a member of MHC class II molecules. (novusbio.com)
Class II molecules3
HLA-DR, like other MHC class II molecules, is a transmembrane glycoprotein composed of a 36 kDa alpha chain (DRA) and 27 kDa beta chain (DRB). (thermofisher.com)
HLA class II molecules consist of noncovalently associated α (32 kD) and β (28 kD) chains, both of which are encoded within the MHC. (musculoskeletalkey.com)
HLA class I and class II molecules are cell surface glycoproteins, anchored to the membrane by hydrophobic transmembrane segments. (musculoskeletalkey.com)
Peptide3
Within the DR molecule the beta chain contains all the polymorphisms specifying the peptide binding specificities. (thermofisher.com)
In conjunction with the CD3/TCR complex and CD4 molecules, HLA-DR is critical for efficient peptide presentation to CD4+ T cells. (novusbio.com)
The polymorphisms associated with the "shared epitope" are located on the α-helical rim (DRB1 chain) of the peptide-binding cleft, where they may interact with either the bound peptide antigen or the T cell receptor. (musculoskeletalkey.com)

Alleles1
In the case of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and related illnesses, many of the HLA class II alleles are associated with the presence of specific autoantibodies or clinical phenotypes. (musculoskeletalkey.com)
Heterodimeric2
HLA-DR is a heterodimeric transmembrane protein composed of alpha and beta subunits and plays an important role in the presentation of peptides to CD4+ T lymphocytes. (thermofisher.com)
HLA-DR is a heterodimeric cell surface glycoprotein comprised of a 36kDa alpha (heavy) chain and a 28kDa beta (light) chain. (novusbio.com)
Counterparts2
HLA-DR antigens also occur on a variety of epithelial cells and their corresponding neoplastic counterparts. (novusbio.com)
The HLA molecules and their counterparts in rodents were subsequently shown to be directly responsible for immune response differences between individuals and for determining the likelihood of graft rejection. (musculoskeletalkey.com)
Major histoco1
Description: The LN3 mAb reacts with the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II, HLA-DR. HLA-DR is expressed on the surface of human antigen presenting cells (APC) including B cells, monocytes, macrophages, DCs, and activated T cells. (thermofisher.com)
Structural1
Recent observations raise the hypothesis that not only the drug/chemical, but also parts of the haptenated protein or peptides may constitute the important structural determinants for antigen recognition by the TCR. (frontiersin.org)
Cells5
During thymic selection, T cells that have not yet encountered their cognate antigen are considered naive T cells. (frontiersin.org)
Due to the artificial nature of drug/chemical-T-cell epitopes, it is not clear whether thymic selection of drug/chemical-specific T cells is a common phenomenon or remains limited to few donors or simply does not exist, suggesting T-cell receptor (TCR) cross-reactivity with other antigens. (frontiersin.org)
HLA-DR is expressed primarily on antigen presenting cells such as B lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages, thymic epithelial cells and activated T lymphocytes. (thermofisher.com)
In each individual, T cells are generally restricted to recognize antigens presented by the person's own HLA molecules. (musculoskeletalkey.com)
The allelic variations among different HLA molecules are a major factor accounting for differences in the types of antigenic peptides to which an individual responds or in the types of T cells that are used in an immune response. (musculoskeletalkey.com)
Positive1
Interestingly, the recent data in RA indicate that the major HLA-DR associations are with anti-CCP antibody positive disease, suggesting that control of autoantibody responses may be a primary mechanism underlying these associations in RA as well. (musculoskeletalkey.com)
Chain1
HLA class I molecules consist of a 45-kD α chain encoded within the MHC that is noncovalently associated with the 12-kD β 2 -microglobulin chain (encoded on chromosome 15). (musculoskeletalkey.com)
