CD49d (Integrin alpha 4), Biotin, clone: R1-2, eBioscience™

Description

Description: The R1-2 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse CD49d, the 150kDa integrin alpha4 subunit. The complex of CD49d non-covalently associated with integrin beta1 (CD29), also known as VLA-4, is a receptor for fibronectin and VCAM-1 (CD106). This complex is expressed by thymocytes, peripheral lymphocytes, monocytes and eosinophils. CD49d also associates with integrin b7 and binds to the Mucosal vascular Addressin (MAdCAM-1).Applications Reported: The R1-2 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.Applications Tested: The R1-2 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse splenocytes. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.5 μg per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.Filtration: 0.2μm post-manufacturing filtered.
