TAPBPR was detected using either PeTe4, a mouse monoclonal antibody (mAb) specific for the native conformation of TAPBPR, raised against amino acids 22–406 of human TAPBPR (Boyle et al., 2013 (link)) that does not cross-react with tapasin (Hermann et al., 2013 (link)), or ab57411, a mouse mAb raised against amino acids 23–122 of TAPBPR that is reactive to denatured TAPBPR (Abcam, UK). UGT1 was detected using the rabbit mAb ab124879 (Abcam). MHC class I heavy chains were detected using mAb HC10 (Stam et al., 1986 ). Soluble TAPBPR variants were detected using the mouse anti-polyhistidine mAb H1029 (Sigma-Aldrich). A mouse IgG2a isotype control was also used as a control (Sigma-Aldrich).
