Description

The HMα2 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse CD49b, the 150 kDa integrin α₂ subunit. The complex of CD49b non-covalently associated with integrin β₁ (CD29), also known as VLA-2, is a receptor for collagen and laminin. This complex is expressed by some CD4⁺ T cells, IEL, NK cells, platelets and epithelial cells.

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. The HMα2 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.

Applications Tested

The HMα2 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse splenocyte suspensions. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.125 μg per million cells in a 100 μl total staining volume. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.
