General Notes
Mouse anti Pig CD61 antibody, clone JM2E5 recognizes the porcine CD61 cell surface antigen, also known as platelet glycoprotein IIIa or integrin beta.CD61 is present on the megakaryocyte/platelet lineage, granulocytes, cells from the monocyte/macrophage lineage and endothelial cells (Moreno et al. 2002). CD61 is also broadly expressed on tissues, such as epithelial cells from tubules in the kidney (Piriou-Guzylack et al., 2008), spleen, intestinal mucosa and Leydig cells in testis (Moreno et al. 2002). Mouse anti Pig CD61 antibody, clone JM2E5 detects a band of approximately 85 kDa in porcine platelet lysates by western blotting. The epitope recognized by this antibody is not sensitive to EDTA.
