Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse Anti-Human CD49b
Flow cytometric analysis of CD49b expression on human peripheral blood platelets. Platelets were stained with either Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse IgG2a, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 557715; dashed line histogram) or Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse Anti-Human CD49b antibody (Cat. No. 564118; solid line histogram). Fluoresence histograms depicting CD49b (or Ig Isotype control) expression were derived from gated events with the side and forward light-scatter characteristics of viable platelets. Flow cytometric analysis was performed using a BD™ LSR II Flow Cytometer System.

Preparation And Storage

Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 647 under optimum conditions, and unreacted Alexa Fluor® 647 was removed.

Product Notices

  1. This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
  2. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
  3. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
  4. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
  5. The Alexa Fluor®, Pacific Blue™, and Cascade Blue® dye antibody conjugates in this product are sold under license from Molecular Probes, Inc. for research use only, excluding use in combination with microarrays, or as analyte specific reagents. The Alexa Fluor® dyes (except for Alexa Fluor® 430), Pacific Blue™ dye, and Cascade Blue® dye are covered by pending and issued patents.
  6. Alexa Fluor® is a registered trademark of Molecular Probes, Inc., Eugene, OR.
  7. Alexa Fluor® 647 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for allophycocyanin (APC).
  8. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.

12F1

The 12F1 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD49b. CD49b is also known as the integrin α2 chain (VLA-α2), a member of the integrin family of extracellular matrix and cell-cell adhesion receptors. VLA-α2 is non-covalently associated with VLA-β1 chain (CD29) in the VLA-2 complex. α2 is expressed on numerous cell types including activated T cells, platelets, and long-term cultivated T cells. α2β1 is a well-established receptor for collagen. This antibody is useful for studies of integrin expression and function.

Alexa Fluor™ 647
Alexa Fluor™ 647 Dye is part of the BD red family of dyes. This is a small organic fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 653-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 669-nm. Alexa Fluor 647 is designed to be excited by the Red laser (627-640 nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 520-nm (e.g., a 660/20 nm bandpass filter). Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
