Facilitate HLA-E detection with this ready-to-use IHC solution, streamlining procedures from antigen retrieval through slide preparation.
Description
Human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens, also known as human leukocyte antigens (HLA), are encoded by genes on the short arm of chromosome 6 (6p21.3). The class I molecules, including HLA-A, B, and C, consist of a heavy (alpha) chain encoded by a class I gene and a β2-microglobulin chain. These molecules are involved in presenting foreign antigens to the immune system. HLA-E is a non-classical MHC class I molecule that is often overexpressed in tumors, transplanted tissues, and virus-infected cells. HLA-E interacts with the CD94/NKG2A, -B, and -C receptors on NK and T cells, functioning as an immune suppressor. This immune suppression enables tumors to evade immune surveillance.

IHC Control Slides
Creative Biolabs control slides are prepared using top quality tissues that have been processed, embedded and sectioned following standard operating procedure. We provide the following antigen (tissue) controls: - Positive control: a section from a tissue known to express the protein of interest. - Negative control: a section from a tissue known not to express the target antigen. - Endogenous tissue background control: a section from the tissue that doesn't have a primary antibody applied.
Tissue Samples
Creative Biolabs also offers biospecimen including formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks, fresh or snap frozen tissue blocks, tissue microarray (TMA) slides. Please contact us to request a customized price quotation.
