Product Details anti-VCAM1 Antibody

Target: VCAM1 (Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 (VCAM1))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This VCAM1 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunoprecipitation (IP), Immunohistochemistry (Frozen Sections) (IHC (fro))

Specificity: The antibody binds exclusively to the cytokine-induced endothelial cell adhesion protein, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1).

Characteristics: Tumour marker

Purification: Purified

Clone: 4B9

Isotype: IgG1

Application Details

Application Notes: 4B9 is suitable for immunoblotting, immunoprecipitation, immunocytochemistry and immuno-histochemistry on frozen tissues and flow cytometry. Optimal antibody dilution should be determined by titration, recommended range is 1:25 – 1:200 for flow cytometry, and for immunohistochemistry with avidin-biotinylated horseradish peroxidase complex (ABC) as detection reagent, and 1:100 – 1:1000 for immunoblotting applications.

Comment:

4B9 is a mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody generated by immunization of Balb/c mice with human umbilical vein endothelium (HUVE) that were non-enzymatically harvested after stimulation for 24h with recombinant human (rh) TNF-alpha (10 ng/ml). Splenocytes were fused with the NS-1 nonsecretory murine myeloma line.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Target Details for VCAM1

Target: VCAM1 (Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 (VCAM1))

Alternative Name: VCAM-1 (VCAM1 Products)

Background: Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) is induced on human umbilical vein endothelium (HUVE) by recombinant human tumor necrosis factor - alpha (rh TNF-alpha), rh interleukin-1 (IL-1) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and is involved in adherence of lymphocytic cell lines to HUVE. VCAM-1 is only minimally expressed on unstimulated endothelium. Molecular cloning and sequencing of VCAM-1 predicts a 69-kDa core protein with 6 potential N-linked glycosylation sites, if the protein is fully glycosylated a mature protein of about 90kDa is yielded. VCAM-1 mediates a component of the adherence of Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes (PBL) to rh TNF-stimulated HUVE, this CD18 independent mechanism of lymphocyte adherence to cytokine stimulated endothelium may be an important pathway of lymphocyte emigration at sites of inflammation and immune reaction.
