Anti-CD29 (Integrin beta1), clone 2Q837

CD29 (integrin Beta-1/gpIIa) is a cell adhesion molecule appearing on platelets, as the common Beta subunit of the very late activation antigen (VLA), and as a component of various protein complexes binding to extracellular matrix proteins. The CD29 is expressed at the cell surface exclusively as part of a heterodimer, in association with one of at least nine different integrin alpha subunits (alpha1, alpha2, alpha3, alpha4, alpha5, alpha6, alpha7, alpha8, and alphav). With the exception of red blood cells and possible weak expression on granulocytes, CD29 is expressed on nearly all cell and tissue types. Applications: Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry, ELISA, and Western Blot. Other applications have not been tested. Recommended Dilutions: Flow Cytometry: 1:25-1:50, ELISA: 10ug/ml , Western Blot: Reacts with human beta 1 integrin subunit under non-reducing conditions only, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Positive Controls: Tonsil and human skin tissue, Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
