basic question about MHC/HLA and antibodies

Dear group,

I'm trying to read up on the topic of antigen presenting. One of the
topics that gives me trouble is the nomenclature. What I know and
learned about as MHC class 1 and MHC class 2 are often referred to as
HLA in reagent catalogs.

I was looking for reagents that would distinguish between MHC I and
II and found HLA class I and that was easy. But it seems there are
many reagents for HLA class II

My question, - what if any, is/are  a good general reagent/clone that
would detect MHC class II for professional APC's ?

thanks for any insights,

Maciej
