BD Pharmingen™ PE Mouse Anti-Human CD49b
Clone 12F1 (RUO)




Flow cytometric profile of CD49B expression on human peripheral blood platelets. Platelets were stained with either PE Mouse Anti-Human CD49b (Cat. No. 555669, solid line histogram) or PE Mouse IgG2a, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 555574, dashed line histogram). Fluorescence histograms depicting CD49B expression (or Ig isotype control staining) was derived from gated events with the side and forward light-scatter characteristics of viable lymphocytes. Flow cytometry was carried on a BD FACSan™ System.

Preparation And Storage
Product Notices
- 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).
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
- 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.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.

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.
