- Extra Details:
- MaxLight™650 is a new Far-IR stable dye conjugate comparable to Alexa Fluor™647, DyLight™649, Cy5™ and offers better labeling efficiency, brighter imaging and increased immunodetection. Absorbance (655nm); Emission (676nm); Extinction Coefficient 250,000. 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. Applications: Suitable for use in Immunofluorescence and Attachment inhibition assays. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: Attachment inhibition assays: Fibroblasts, epithelial cells, endothelial cells, and non-activated platelets on collagen types I, III, IV, VI and laminin. Immunofluorescence: Fresh frozen or acetone fixed tissues or cell culture. Not recommended for use with formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissues. Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Store product at 4°C in the dark. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4°C for 12 months after receipt as an undiluted liquid. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Caution: MaxLight™650 conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap. Note: Applications are based on unconjugated antibody.
