Description

Product Name:Anti-Mouse/Human CD49d (Clone PS/2) In Vivo Antibody - Ultra Low Endotoxin
Product Code:IVMB0277
Size:1 mg, 5 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg
Clone:PS/2
Protein:CD49D
Product Type:Monoclonal Antibody
Synonyms:VLA-4α, ITGA4, Integrin α4
Isotype:IgG2b k
Reactivity:Mouse, Human
Applications:FA, FC, IHC, In Vivo, IP
Formulation:This monoclonal antibody is aseptically packaged and formulated in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline (150 mM NaCl) PBS pH 7.2 - 7.4 with no carrier protein, potassium, calcium or preservatives added. Due to inherent biochemical properties of antibodies, certain products may be prone to precipitation over time. Precipitation may be removed by aseptic centrifugation and/or filtration.
Endotoxin Level:<0.5 EU/mg as determined by the LAL method
Purity:≥98% monomer by analytical SEC ⋅ >95% by SDS Page
Product Preparation:Functional grade preclinical antibodies are manufactured in an animal free facility using in vitro cell culture techniques and are purified by a multi-step process including the use of protein A or G to assure extremely low levels of endotoxins, leachable protein A or aggregates.
Applications:FA, FC, IHC, In Vivo, IP
Reactivity:Mouse/Human
Host Species:Rat
Specificity:PS/2 activity is directed against mouse CD49d and is cross reactive against human CD49d.
Antigen Distribution:CD49d is expressed on T cells, B cells, NK , dendritic cells, thymocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, mast cells.
Immunogen:P815 DBA/2 murine mastocytoma cells.
Concentration:≥ 5.0 mg/ml
Endotoxin Level:<0.5 EU/mg as determined by the LAL method

Storage and Handling:Functional grade preclinical antibodies may be stored sterile as received at 2-8°C for up to one month. For longer term storage, aseptically aliquot in working volumes without diluting and store at -70°C. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles.

Integrins are a large family of heterodimeric transmembrane molecules that mediate adhesion, migration, cell survival, and cell differentiation. CD49d is a single-pass type I membrane glycoprotein also known as integrin alpha-4 (Uniprot Accession P13612). CD49d is the α4 subunit of integrin heterodimers alpha-4/beta-1 (VLA-4; CD49d/CD29; α4β1 integrin) and alph-4/beta-7 (LPAM-1)1. These integrins act as receptors for fibronectin and VCAM1 (CD106). Integrin alpha-4/beta-7 is also a receptor for MADCAM1.

CD49d is expressed on most lymphocytes, granulocytes, monocytes, and thymocytes. CD49d/CD29 (VLA-4; α4β1) is expressed at high levels on the surface of lymphohematopoietic progenitors and is involved in their development and proliferation. CD49d/CD29 integrin/VCAM-1 interactions facilitate B cell adhesion to stromal cells and enhance B cell activation. In the absence of alpha-4 integrins, pre-B cells fail to transmigrate and proliferate.

PS/2 recognizes murine and human CD49d2. PS/2 was generated by immunizing Fisher rats with P815 cells and subsequently fusing the spleen cells with Sp2/0. 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 ligands3. Lymphocyte production is completely blocked when PS/2 is included in Whitlock-Witte culture2. PS/2 is IgG2b κ.

Protein:CD49D
Function:Lymphocyte migration, T cell activation, stem cell differentiation.
Ligand/Receptor:Fibronectin, VCAM-1, MAdCAM-1
Research Area:Cell Adhesion, Cell Biology, Immunology, Innate Immunity
Pathogen Testing:To protect mouse colonies from infection by pathogens and to assure that experimental preclinical data is not affected by such pathogens, all of Assay Genie's Purified Functional Antibodies are tested and guaranteed to be negative for all pathogens in the IDEXX IMPACT I Mouse Profile.
