Description

The 429 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse CD106 (Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule-1, VCAM-1), a 110 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein expressed by myeloid lineage and bone marrow stromal cells. Endothelial cells constitutively express low levels of CD106 and upregulate it upon cytokine stimulation. CD106 binds to integrin α₄β₁ (VLA-4, CD49d/CD29) and Integrin a4b7 (LPAM-1) and these interactions in the bone marrow and thymus are important for early lymphocyte and myeloid development. Cytokine-mediated upregulation of CD106 on endothelial cells suggests a role for this antigen in the inflammatory response.

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. The 429 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. It has also been reported in blocking of CD106 in functional studies.

Applications Tested

The 429 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse bone marrow cell suspensions. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.25 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.
