Invitrogen™ CD51 (Integrin alpha V) Monoclonal Antibody (RMV-7), PE, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Rat Monoclonal Antibody

Description: The RMV-7 monoclonal antibody reacts with the mouse CD51 molecule, the integrin alpha v chain. This approximately 120 kDa surface molecule non-covalently associates with the beta subunits of the integrin family including beta3 (CD61), beta1 (CD29), beta5 and beta6 to form receptors for extracellular matrix components. Heterodimers of CD51/CD61 are expressed by platelets, T cells and granulocytes and mediate adhesion to fibrinogen, fibronectin, vitronectin and thrombospondin. Applications Reported: The RMV-7 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: The RMV-7 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse splenocytes. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.5 μg per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest. Excitation: 488-561 nm; Emission: 578 nm; Laser: Blue Laser, Green Laser, Yellow-Green Laser. Filtration: 0.2 μm post-manufacturing filtered.
