Quick Overview for ITGA2 antibody (ABIN118699)

Target: ITGA2 (Integrin alpha 2 (ITGA2))

Reactivity: Human, Monkey

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This ITGA2 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS)

Clone: AK7

Product Details anti-ITGA2 Antibody

Specificity: This antibody recognises the integrin alpha2 subunit, which is a 160 kDa glycoprotein that non-covalently associates with the 130 kDa integrin beta1 subunit to form the VLA-2 complex. CD49b is expressed by platelets, long term cultivated T cells, endothelial cells, monocytes and most adherent cell lines. Cross reacts with Cynomolgus monkey (3), Baboon and Rhesus monkey.

Purification: Affinity chromatography on Protein G

Immunogen: Spleen cells from immunised mice were fused with cells of the mouse NS1 myeloma cell line.

Isotype: IgG1

Application Details

Application Notes: Flow cytometry: 1/50 - 1/100, use 10 μL of the suggested working dilution to label 10^6 cells in 100 μL. Immunohistochemistry on frozen sections: 1/500 - 1/1000. Recommended positive control tissue: Tonsil.
Other applications not tested.
Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Target Details for ITGA2

Target: ITGA2 (Integrin alpha 2 (ITGA2))

Alternative Name: CD49b / ITGA2

Background: CD49b is a 160kD glycoprotein that non-covalently associates with the 130kD integrin beta 1 subunit to form the VLA-2 complex. CD49b is expressed by platelets, long term cultivated T cells, approximately 50 % of monocytes and most adherent cell lines.
