Additional info: CD49a is the alpha 1 chain of VLA integrin complex (together with CD29, serving as the beta 1 chain), and is expressed on activated T cells, monocytes, NK cells, cultured neuronal cells, melanoma cells, mesenchymal cells (including smooth muscle cells), fibroblasts, hepatocytes, and microvascular endothelium. It binds to collagen IV and laminin 1. It is important for leukocyte migration into tissues. It is upregulated in inflammatory tissues, such as inflammed intestine.SpecificityThe mouse monoclonal antibody AK7 recognizes an extracellular epitope of CD49b, a 160-165 kDa alpha subunit of VLA-2 integrin complex expressed on platelets, megakaryocytes, activated T and B cells, monocytes, epithelial cells, endothelial cells and fibroblasts.Application detailsFlow cytometry: Recommended dilution: 1-4 μg/ml.
