Target: CD49d.
Clone: PS/2.
Specificity: PS/2 activity is directed against mouse CD49d and is cross reactive against human CD49d.
Purification method: This monoclonal antibody was purified using multi-step affinity chromatography methods such as Protein A or G depending on the species and isotype.
Antigen Distribution: CD49d is expressed on T cells, B cells, NK , dendritic cells, thymocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, mast cells.
Background: Hybridoma supernatants were screened by cell adhesion assay and cells producing blocking antibodies were cloned. Adhesion is blocked in a dose dependent manner when PS/2 is used with P815 and +/+ 2.4 stromal cells. 70Z/3 cells are also sensitive to PS/2 inhibition. PS/2 is known to block binding of CD49d to its ligands. Lymphocyte production is completely blocked when PS/2 is included in Whitlock-Witte culture.
Immunogen: PS/2 was generated by immunizing Fisher rats with P815 cells and subsequently fusing the spleen cells with Sp2/0.
Concentration: ≥ 2.0 mg/ml.
Formulation: Sterile, preservative-free, solution in PBS. BSA and Azide free.
Purity: >98% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC.
Endotoxin: ≤ 0.5 EU/mg as determined by the LAL method.
Aggregation: Aggregation level ≤ 1%.
Use: Products are for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
