Additional info: CD51/CD61 (integrin alpha5beta3), also known as osteoclast functional antigen, serves as a vitronectin receptor, and binds also to fibronectin, fibrinogen, thrombospondin, osteopontin, collagen, and von Willebrand factor. Expression of this antigen increases with melanoma progression. In healthy individuals CD51/CD61 is expressed mainly on osteoclasts, placenta, and endothelial cells, at lower levels on platelets and macrophages.SpecificityThe antibody HI186 reacts with CD52 (CAMPATH-1), a 21-28 kDa extracellular glycoprotein containing a large N-linked carbohydrate moiety; mature CD52 molecule is actually much smaller (approx. 8-9 kDa). CD52 is expressed at high levels on lymphocytes, monocytes/macrophages and in male reproductive tract.Application detailsFlow cytometry: Recommended dilution: 2-6 µg/ml
