Preparation And Storage
Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- 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.
- Sodium azide is a reversible inhibitor of oxidative metabolism; therefore, antibody preparations containing this preservative agent must not be used in cell cultures nor injected into animals. Sodium azide may be removed by washing stained cells or plate-bound antibody or dialyzing soluble antibody in sodium azide-free buffer. Since endotoxin may also affect the results of functional studies, we recommend the NA/LE (No Azide/Low Endotoxin) antibody format, if available, for in vitro and in vivo use.

The SR84 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD49a (CD49 antigen-like family member A). CD49a is a ~200 kDa type I transmembrane molecule that is encoded by ITGA1 (Integrin subunit alpha 1). CD49a is also known as very late antigen 1α subunit (VLA-1) of the integrin family of cell adhesion molecules. CD49a associates with the integrin β1 subunit (CD29) to form the α1/β1 heterodimer (CD49a/CD29), and serves as receptor for collagen and laminin-1. It is expressed on activated T cells, monocytes, neuronal cells and smooth muscle cells. CD49a has been reported to play a role in cell attachment during the development of both the central and peripheral nervous systems.
