Rat anti Mouse CD49b monoclonal antibody, clone DX5 recognizes mouse CD49b, also known as Very Late Antigen-2 (VLA-2) or alpha-2 integrin. CD49b is a ~160kDa single pass type I membrane protein expressed by NK cells and a small subset of T-cells (Pellicci et al. 2005).

Rat anti mouse CD49b, clone DX5 stains NK cells from all mouse strains tested including Balb/c mice (Arese et al. 2001). CD49b acts as a receptor for collagen, laminin, fibronectin and E-cadherin (Carafoli et al. 2013).

DO NOT FREEZE
This product should be stored undiluted. This product is photosensitive and should be protected from light.
Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.

This product has been reported to work in the following applications. This information is derived from testing within our laboratories, peer-reviewed publications or personal communications from the originators. Please refer to references indicated for further information. For general protocol recommendations, please visit the antibody protocols page.

Flow Cytometry
Where this product has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. Suggested working dilutions are given as a guide only. It is recommended that the user titrates the product for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
Flow Cytometry
Use 10μl of the suggested working dilution to label 106 cells in 100μl.
The Fc region of monoclonal antibodies may bind to cells expressing low affinity fc receptors. This may be reduced by using SeroBlock FcR (BUF041A/BUF041B).
