General Notes
Mouse anti Pig SLA Class II DQ antibody, clone K274.3G8 recognizes SLA DQ molecules which are expressed on all B cells, antigen presenting cells and on certain subsets of resting and activated T cells. The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a cluster of genes that are important in the immune response to infections. In pigs, this is referred to as the swine leukocyte antigen (SLA) region. There are 3 major MHC class II proteins encoded by the SLA which are SLA DP, SLA DQ and SLA DR.
