CD49a (Integrin alpha 1) Monoclonal Antibody (TS2/7), PerCP-eFluor™ 710, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Description

Description: The monoclonal antibody TS2/7 reacts with human CD49a, also known as integrin alpha 1. CD49a is always associated with CD29 (integrin beta 1) to form a type I transmembrane protein called very late antigen-1 (VLA1). This heterodimer is expressed by endothelial cells, activated T cells, monocytes, a subset of NK cells, a subset of memory T cells, smooth muscle cells, and mesenchymal stem cells. CD49a binds to collagen IV strongly, but also binds to collagen I, laminin, and semaphorin7A. CD49a is involved in cell survival, proliferation, homing, and inflammatory responses. Applications Reported: This TS2/7 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This TS2/7 antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by flow cytometric analysis of stimulated normal human peripheral blood cells. This can be used at 5 μL (0.125 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. PerCP-eFluor™ 710 emits at 710 nm and is excited with the blue laser (488 nm); it can be used in place of PerCP-Cyanine5.5. We recommend using a 710/50 bandpass filter, however, the 695/40 bandpass filter is an acceptable alternative. Please make sure that your instrument is capable of detecting this fluorochrome.

CD49a (Integrin alpha 1) Monoclonal antibody specifically detects CD49a (Integrin alpha 1) in Human samples. It is validated for Flow Cytometry.
