Unless they state so in the catalog, you may just have to try them and see.
It depends upon how many there are, etc. and what sort of budget you have.

Fortunately for us, the MAb W6/32 that recognizes a monomorphic
determinant on Human Class-I HLA molecules also cross reacts with the
homologue on the monkey the COS-1/7 cells, from whatever species of monkey
they are derived. This aided us as we needed a positive control for our
COS cells.

Hope this is of some use,
David
