Anti-CD61 (Glycoprotein IIIa, Integrin beta3)

CD61 associates with either the alpha IIb integrin (CD41) or the alpha V integrin (CD51) at the cell surface. CD61 is expressed on platelets and megakaryocytes in association with CD41, and on endothelial cells, monocytes, platelets and osteoclasts in association with CD51. CD61 is a receptor for fibrinogen, fibronectin, vWF, vitronectin and thrombospondin. Applications: Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry, Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: Flow Cytometry: 1:100-1:200 Use 10ul to label 1x10e6 cells in 100ul. , Immunohistochemistry: Frozen sections, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin): Requires protein digestion pre-treatment of paraffin sectons (e.g. trypsin prior to staining), Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
