PerCP/Cyanine5.5 anti-human CD49a
Description
CD49a is a 200 kD type I transmembrane glycoprotein also known as α1 integrin, VLA-1 α chain, or Integrin α1. It associates with CD29 (β1 integrin) to form VLA-1 complex, a collagen IV and alminin-1 receptor. It is expressed on activated T cells, monocytes, NK cells, smooth muscle cells, neuronal cells, fibroblasts, and mesenchymal cells. CD49a is an adhesion molecule and is involved in the regulation of leukocyte migration, T cell proliferation, and cytokine production.
Formulation
Phosphate-buffered solution, pH 7.2, containing 0.09% sodium azide and 0.2% (w/v) BSA (origin USA)Recommended Usage
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For flow cytometric staining, the suggested use of this reagent is 5 µL per million cells in 100 µL staining volume or 5 µL per 100 µL of whole blood. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
* PerCP/Cyanine5.5 has a maximum absorption of 482 nm and a maximum emission of 690 nm.
