- Extra Details:
- Integrins are heterodimeric integral membrane proteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain. The I-domain containing alpha integrin 2 combines with beta integrin 1 to form a collagen-binding integrin referred to as glycoprotein Ia/IIa (gpIa/IIa) when expressed on platelets, and very late (activation) antigen 2 ('VLA-2') when found on T-cells. In addition to adhesion, integrins are known to participate in cell-surface mediated signalling. CD49b is expressed approximately 50% of monocytes and most adherent cell lines. CD49b forms a non-covalent association with the 130kD VLA beta chain (CD29) in the VLA-2 complex. The CD49b/CD29 complex is also known as a2/b1 and VLA-2. The complex mediates binding of cells to collagen (types I, II, III, and IV) and to laminin. The complex of CD49b associated with CD29 (integrin b1) is a receptor for laminin and collagen. This complex is expressed by some CD4-positive T-cells, natural killer cells, epithelial cells and platelets. Recommended Secondary Antibody: Streptavidin: RPE Fusion Partners: Spleen cells from immunized mice were fused with cells of the mouse NS1 myeloma cell line. Recommended Negative Controls: Mouse IgG1 Negative Control Applications: Flow Cytometry: 1:50-1:100. Use 10ul of the suggested working dilution to label 10e6 cells in 100ul. Optimal working dilutions to be determined by researcher. Storage and Stability: Store product at 4°C if to be used immediately within two weeks. For long-term storage, aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable at -20°C for 12 months after receipt. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
