Description

The eBioHMα5-1 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse and rat CD49e, also known as integrin α5 or VLA-5A. CD49e is a member of the integrin α chain family, and binds with CD29 (integrin β1) to form the receptor VLA-5, which binds the ligands fibronectin and fibrinogen. CD49e is a type I, single-pass membrane protein, with a molecular weight of 135 kDa, and is expressed on multiple cell types including thymocytes, mast cells, activated T cells and splenic B cells. In addition to its role in adhesion, VLA-5 contributes to T-cell co-stimulation. The eBioHMα5-1 monoclonal antibody has been demonstrated to interfere with VLA-5-mediated cell adhesion, and with the degranulation of IgE-sensitized rat RBL cells stimulated on fibronectin-coated plates. Furthermore, HMα5-1 injected into mice subcutaneously, along with anti-CD49d and anti-CD61, is able to inhibit passive cutaneous anaphylaxis.

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. This eBioHMa5-1 (HMa5-1) antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis, and immunoprecipitation. (Please use Functional Grade purified eBioHMa5-1 (HMa5-1), cat. 16-0493, in functional assays.)

Applications Tested

This eBioHMa5-1 (HMa5-1) antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse bone marrow cell suspensions. This can be used at less than or equal to 1 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.
