Background: This antibody may be used to identify mouse fibronectin in experimental studies on wound healing, tumour progression, and tumour invasion, etc. Fibronectins are glycoproteins, which occur as dimers of two 200 kDa subunits. They have binding domains for bacterial proteins, collagens, heparin-like molecules and fibrin. Cellular fibronectin is widely distributed in the stroma of malignant tumours.
