Image caption:
Immunophenotyping and pro-inflammatory cytokine expression of untransduced and Ad-transduced MSCs. (A) Untransduced and Ad-transduced MSCs were stained for expression of the immunologically relevant markers MHC class I/II, CD80 and CD86 with specific antibodies and analysed by flow cytometry. (B) MSCs were transduced with Ad.GFP and after 24 h cells were collected and subjected to mRNA isolation and cDNA synthesis. RT-PCR analysis showing mRNA expression levels of IL-1β, IFN-γ and IL-6 from untransduced and Ad-transduced MSCs. Data shown are means ±SD of three independent experiments. 2E-ΔCT = 2−ΔCT→ number of copies of gene of interest relative to the number of copes of the internal control gene, β-actin.

Mouse anti Rat MHC class I RT1A antibody, clone OX-18 (MCA51GA) used for the detection of MHC classI expressing cells in rat brain by immunohistochemistry of formalin fixed tissue cryosections.
Image caption:
Expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and class II antigens in the right injected striatum. Photomicrographs were prepared from coronal sections through the striatum and processed for MHC class I (A–D) and MHC class II (F–I) immunocytochemistry in representative rats of the M PBS-Str hEPO (A and F), M hEPO-Str hEPO (B and G), Str PBS-Str hEPO (C and H) and Str hEPO-Str hEPO (D and I) groups 3 weeks after the second injections. The scale bar = 100 μm in I also for A–D and F–H. High magnification photomicrographs in the left bottom were prepared from the box areas in (A) and (H). (E) and (J) Arbitrary rating scores of MHC class I (E) and MHC class II (J) immunostaining in the right injected striatum of rats from the M PBS-Str hEPO, M hEPO-Str hEPO, Str PBS-Str hEPO and Str hEPO-Str hEPO groups. The bars represent the median values of rating scores, and the circles depict the individual values. Filled circles indicate the rats from which the photomicrographs were taken. A Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Mann-Whitney U tests was used to compare the rating scores between groups. * p<0.05 versus indicated groups.

Antibody Quality and Performance Guarantee
| Mouse anti Rat MHC Class I RT1A antibody, clone OX-18 recognizes a monomorphic determinant of rat MHC Class I (RT1A), expressed by all rat strains. However, quantitative measurements suggest that not all of the class I molecules are recognized. Mouse anti Rat MHC Class I RT1A antibody, clone OX-18 has been used in immunoaffinity purification of rat MHC class I molecules (Fukumoto et al. 1982). Mouse anti Rat MHC Class I RT1A antibody, clone OX-18 is routinely tested in flow cytometry on rat splenocytes. |

- 1The epitope recognised by this antibody is reported to be sensitive to formaldehyde fixation and tissue processing. Bio-Rad recommends the use of acetone fixation for frozen sections.
Where this antibody has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. Suggested working dilutions are given as a guide only. It is recommended that the user titrates the antibody for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
- Flow Cytometry
- Use 10ul of the suggested working dilution to label 106 cells in 100ul.
- Immunohistology
- Acetone fixation recommended - the antigen is sensitive to fixation with paraformaldehyde.
