The Rat Monoclonal anti-VCAM1 antibody (Clone 429 (MVCAM-A)) (ABIN7014002) specifically detects VCAM1 in FACS, IP, IHC (fro) and Func.
The antibody is reactive with Mouse samples.
The rat monoclonal antibody 429 (also known as MVCAM.A) recognizes an extracellular epitope of murine CD106, a 100-110 kDa type I membrane protein of the immunoglobulin superfamily, a crucial mediator of leukocyte adhesion, and a costimulation molecule.
Vascular cell adhesion molecule 1,CD106 / VCAM-1 (vascular cell adhesion molecule-1) is an Ig-like cell surface adhesion molecule binding VLA-4 integrin. VCAM-1 is a potent T cell costimulatory molecule taking part in their positive selection and survival, as well as in adhesion, transendothelial migration and activation of peripheral T cells. VCAM-1 is also involved in endothelial cell-cell contacts. Whereas VCAM-1 normally mediates leukocyte extravasion to sites of tissue inflammation, tumour cells can use overexpressed VCAM-1 to escape T cell immunity.,Vcam-1
