Background of beta 2-Microglobulin

Beta-2 microglobulin also known as B2M is a component of MHC class I molecules, which are present on all nucleated cells (excludes red blood cells). In humans, the beta-2-microglobulin protein is encoded by the B2M gene. The protein has a predominantly beta-pleated sheet structure that can form amyloid fibrils in some pathological conditions. The encoded antimicrobial protein displays antibacterial activity in amniotic fluid. A mutation in this gene has been shown to result in hypercatabolic hypoproteinemia.

Antibody Validation

Boster validates all antibodies on WB, IHC, ICC, Immunofluorescence, and ELISA with known positive control and negative samples to ensure specificity and high affinity, including thorough antibody incubations.

5 Customer Q&As for Anti-beta 2 Microglobulin/B2m Antibody Picoband®

Question

We are currently using anti-beta 2 Microglobulin/B2m antibody A00456-2 for mouse tissue, and we are well pleased with the ELISA results. The species of reactivity given in the datasheet says mouse. Is it possible that the antibody can work on bovine tissues as well?

Asked: 2020-05-07

Answer

The anti-beta 2 Microglobulin/B2m antibody (A00456-2) has not been validated for cross reactivity specifically with bovine tissues, but there is a good chance of cross reactivity. We have an innovator award program that if you test this antibody and show it works in bovine you can get your next antibody for free. Please contact me if I can help you with anything.

Answer

According to literature liver does express B2M. According to Uniprot.org, B2M is expressed in leukocyte, peripheral blood, cervix carcinoma, dendritic cell, leukemia, trachea, retina skin, plasma, urine, tear, liver, macrophage, among other tissues. Regarding which tissues have B2M expression, here are a few articles citing expression in various tissues:
Liver, Pubmed ID: 24275569
Macrophage, Pubmed ID: 25356553
Peripheral blood, Pubmed ID: 16108498
Plasma, Pubmed ID: 8084451

Question

We bought anti-beta 2 Microglobulin/B2m antibody for WB on trachea in the past. I am using mouse, and We are going to use the antibody for ELISA next. Our lab want to know about examining trachea as well as leukocyte in our next experiment. Could you please give me some suggestion on which antibody would work the best for ELISA?

Asked: 2015-08-04

Answer

I looked at the website and datasheets of our anti-beta 2 Microglobulin/B2m antibody and I see that A00456-2 has been validated on mouse in both WB and ELISA. Thus A00456-2 should work for your application. Our Boster satisfaction guarantee will cover this product for ELISA in mouse even if the specific tissue type has not been validated. We do have a comprehensive range of products for ELISA detection and you can check out our website bosterbio.com to find out more information about them.
