Description

The R1-2 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse CD49d, the 150 kDa integrin α₄ subunit. The complex of CD49d non-covalently associated with integrin β₁ (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

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. The R1-2 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis, immunoprecipitation, and immunohistochemical staining. R1-2 has also been reported in in vitro functional assays. (Please use Functional Grade purified R1-2, cat. 16-0492, in functional assays.)

Applications Tested

The R1-2 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse splenocyte suspensions. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.5 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.
