Flow cytometric analysis of Mouse CD49a expression on C1300 cells. Cells from the C1300 mouse neuroblastoma cell line were preincubated with Purified Rat Anti-Mouse CD16/CD32 antibody (Mouse BD Fc Block™) (Cat. No. 553141/553142). The cells were then stained with either PerCP-Cy™5.5 Armenian Hamster IgG2, λ1 Isotype Control (Cat. No. 550762; dashed line histogram) or PerCP-Cy™5.5 Hamster Anti-Rat/Mouse CD49a antibody (Cat. No. 564862; solid line histogram). The fluorescence histogram showing CD49a expression (or Ig Isotype control staining) was derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable cells. Flow cytometric analysis was performed using a BD™ LSR II Flow Cytometer System.

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.
- Please observe the following precautions: Absorption of visible light can significantly alter the energy transfer occurring in any tandem fluorochrome conjugate; therefore, we recommend that special precautions be taken (such as wrapping vials, tubes, or racks in aluminum foil) to prevent exposure of conjugated reagents, including cells stained with those reagents, to room illumination.
- PerCP-Cy5.5–labelled antibodies can be used with FITC- and R-PE–labelled reagents in single-laser flow cytometers with no significant spectral overlap of PerCP-Cy5.5, FITC, and R-PE fluorescence.
- PerCP-Cy5.5 is optimized for use with a single argon ion laser emitting 488-nm light. Because of the broad absorption spectrum of the tandem fluorochrome, extra care must be taken when using dual-laser cytometers, which may directly excite both PerCP and Cy5.5™. We recommend the use of cross-beam compensation during data acquisition or software compensation during data analysis.
- Although hamster immunoglobulin isotypes have not been well defined, BD Biosciences Pharmingen has grouped Armenian and Syrian hamster IgG monoclonal antibodies according to their reactivity with a panel of mouse anti-hamster IgG mAbs. A table of the hamster IgG groups, Reactivity of Mouse Anti-Hamster Ig mAbs, may be viewed at http://www.bdbiosciences.com/documents/hamster_chart_11x17.pdf.

The Ha31/8 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the 180-kDa integrin α1 chain (CD49a), which is a transmembrane glycoprotein that non-covalently associates with the integrin β1 subunit (CD29) to form the α1β1 (complex known as VLA-1). VLA-1 has been reported to be expressed on activated T cells, monocytes, smooth muscle cells, and endothelial cells. It is a receptor for collagen and laminin. The Ha31/8 monoclonal antibody is specific for both rat and mouse CD49a. It has been reported that Ha31/8 antibody can block VLA-1-mediated binding of rat cells to collagen.
