Description

The RMV-7 monoclonal antibody reacts with the mouse CD51 molecule, the integrin alpha v chain. This approximately 120 kDa surface molecule non-covalently associates with the β subunits of the integrin family including β₃ (CD61), β₁ (CD29), β₅ and β₆ to form receptors for extracellular matrix components. Heterodimers of CD51/CD61 are expressed by platelets, T cells and granulocytes and mediate adhesion to fibrinogen, fibronectin, vitronectin and thrombospondin.

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. The RMV-7 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Soluble RMV-7 blocks adhesion to fibronectin and vitronectin and immobilized RMV-7 induces activation.

Applications Tested

The RMV-7 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse splenocyte 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.
