ITGA4 antibody

Catalog No. ABIN2689307

Product Details anti-ITGA4 Antibody

Target: ITGA4 (Integrin alpha 4 (ITGA4))

Reactivity: Mouse

Host: Rat

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This ITGA4 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunoprecipitation (IP), Blocking Reagent (BR)

Brand: BD Pharmingen™

Characteristics: The R1-2 antibody reacts with the integrin α4 chain (CD49d), which is expressed as a heterdimer with either of two β, β1 or β7 (also known as βp). The α4β1 integrin (VLA-4, CD49d/CD29) is expressed on most peripheral lymphocytes, thymocytes, and monocytes, while the α4β7 integrin (LPAM-1) is expressed on peripheral lymphocytes, but on only a small subset of thymocytes. These integrins mediate a variety of cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, recognizing the ligands VCAM-1 (CD106) and fibronectin. There is evidence that levels of VLA-4 expression regulate the transendothelial migration of T lymphocytes into inflamed tissues. Integrin α4β7 also preferentially binds to the mucosal vascular addressin, MAdCAM-1. The R1-2 antibody blocks some α4 integrin-mediated binding functions. In combination with mAb 9C10 (MFR4.B) (Cat. No. 553313), binding of VLA-4 expressing cells to VCAM-1 can be almost completely inhibited.
