Anti-Integrin alpha 4 / CD49D Antibody [PS/2] (PE) (A281595)

Anti-Integrin alpha 4 / CD49D Antibody [PS/2] (PE)

Rat monoclonal [PS/2] antibody to Integrin alpha 4 / CD49D (PE).

This antibody recognises mouse alpha 4 integrin (CD49d), a ~150 kDa single pass type I membrane glycoprotein that can associate with either beta 1 integrin (CD29) or beta 7 integrin to form heterodimers CD49d/CD29 (VLA-4) and alpha4/beta7 (LPAM-1) respectively. CD49d is expressed on most lymphocytes, granulocytes, monocytes and thymocytes. The primary ligands for CD49d are CD106 (VCAM-1), fibronectin and MAdCAM-1. Clone PS/2 has also been reported to block the binding of CD49d to its ligands.

Flow Cytometry: Neat - 1:10, Use 10µl of the suggested working dilution to label 10⁶ cells in 100µl. The Fc region of monoclonal antibodies may bind to cells expressing low affinity Fc receptors. This may be reduced by using SeroBlock FcR (BUF041A/BUF041B).

Rat anti Mouse CD49d monoclonal antibody, clone PS/2 recognizes murine alpha 4 integrin (CD49d), a ~150 kDa single pass type I membrane glycoprotein that can associate with either beta 1 integrin (CD29) or beta 7 integrin to form heterodimers CD49d/CD29 (VLA-4) and alpha4/beta7 (LPAM-1) respectively (Holzmann et al. 1989). CD49d is expressed on most lymphocytes, granulocytes, monocytes and thymocytes. The primary ligands for CD49d are CD106 (VCAM-1), fibronectin and MAdCAM-1 (Sheppard et al. 1994).Clone PS/2 has also been reported to block the binding of CD49d to its ligands (Andrew et al. 1994).
