Flow cytometric analysis of CD104 expression on A431 cells, a human epidermal carcinoma cell line. A431 cells were stained with either Purified Rat IgG2b, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 555846; dashed line histogram) or Purified Rat Anti-Human CD104 (Cat. No. 555719; solid line histogram), then FITC Goat Anti-Mouse IgG/IgM (Cat. No. 555988). Fluorescent histograms were derived from gated events with the side and forward light-scattering characteristics of viable A431 cells. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACScan™ system.

Preparation And Storage
Store undiluted at 4°C. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography.
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.

Antibody Details
439-9B
The 439-9B monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD104, integrin β4 chain, a 205 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein, which associates with CD49f (integrin α6 chain) to form the α6/β4 (CD49f/CD104) complex. It is expressed on epithelial cells, Schwann cells, and some tumor cells. The CD49f/CD104 complex is located in the hemidesmosomes of the epidermis, suggesting its role in epidermal cell-basement membrane adhesion. The clone 439-9B was clustered as CD104 at the fifth Human Leucocyte Differentiation Antigen International Workshop. It may be used for immunoprecipitation, immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry on frozen tissue sections.

Format Details
Purified
Tissue culture supernatant is purified by either protein A/G or affinity purification methods. Both methods yield antibody in solution that is free of most other soluble proteins, lipids, etc. This format provides pure antibody that is suitable for a number of downstream applications including: secondary labeling for flow cytometry or microscopy, ELISA, Western blot, etc.
