Conjugate: This ITGA2 antibody is conjugated to FITC

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS)

Specificity: The 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.

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Human, Non-Human Primates

Purification: Purified antibody is conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) under optimum conditions and unconjugated antibody and free fluorochrome are removed by size-exclusion chromatography.

Immunogen: Human platelets

Background: Integrin subunit alpha 2,CD49b the integrin alpha 2 chain, associates with CD29 (integrin beta 1 chain) to form VLA-2 integrin complex, which plays a critical role in the processes of lymphocyte adhesion and activation. VLA-2 serves as a receptor for collagen, laminin, and fibronectin and also regulates the extracellular matrix synthesis and organization. CD49b has been used to identify NK cells, and coexpressed with CD223 (LAG-3) it identifies CD4+ T regulatory type 1 cells (Tr1).,ITGA2, VLA-2 alpha, GPIa
