There are three anti-H-Y hybridomas at the ATCC (HB-9070 to HB-9072).
The antigen is mouse H-Y but the antibodies are said to cross-react with
human. Don't know however if they can be used to stain cells.
Since your'e working with a company please note that these are patent
deposits.

Hope this helps -
