Description
The HMα5-1 antibody specifically recognizes the α5 subunit of the integrin α5β1 fibronectin receptor (CD49e/CD29, VLA-5) on mouse thymocytes and a variety of mouse cell lines, including pre-B and non-lymphoid cells, but not on mouse splenic or lymph node cells. It also detects rat CD49e on the RBL2H3 basophilic leukemia cell line,peritoneal mast cells, and endothelium, but not on splenocytes. It has been reported that soluble mAb HMα5-1 partially inhibits in vitro binding of a mouse cell line and of rat mast cells to fibronectin and inhibits the enhanced degranulation of IgE-sensitized rat RBL cells induced on fibronectin-coated plates. It has also been observed that plate-bound HMα5-1 antibody enhances the degranulation of IgEsensitized rat RBL-2H3 cells and that subcutaneous injection of HMα5-1 mAb into rats, along with anti-CD49d and anti-CD61 antibodies, inhibits experimentally induced passive cutaneous anaphylaxis.
For optimal and reproducible results, BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer should be used anytime two or more BD Horizon Brilliant dyes (including BD OptiBuild Brilliant reagents) are used in the same experiment. Fluorescent dye interactions may cause staining artifacts which may affect data interpretation. The BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer was designed to minimize these interactions. More information can be found in the Technical Data Sheet of the BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer (Cat. No. 563794).
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 with BD Horizon BUV661 under optimal conditions that minimize unconjugated dye and antibody.
1. This antibody was developed for use in flow cytometry.
2. The production process underwent stringent testing and validation to assure that it generates a high-quality conjugate with consistent performance and specific binding activity. However, verification testing has not been performed on all conjugate lots.
3. Researchers should determine the optimal concentration of this reagent for their individual applications.
4. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
5. 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.
