Validation Data Gallery

• 

  FC experiment of human PBMCs using PE-65252

  1X10^6 human PBMCs were surface stained with 5 ul PE Anti-Human CD49b (PE-65252, Clone:AK7) or unstained. Cells were not fixed. Monocytes were gated.

Background Information

CD49b, also known as alpha2 integrin, is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein which forms an adhesion molecule VLA-2 with beta1 integrin. CD49b is a receptor for many (extracellular) matrix and non-matrix molecules (PMID: 23847623). CD49b is expressed on numerous cell types including platelets, activated T cells, B cells, and monocytes. CD49b activation skews NK cell effector function to a phenotype that exhibits elevated IFN-γ production with a concomitant inhibition of motility and cytolytic function (PMID: 32971468, 32762681). The Anti-Human CD49b antibody, clone AK7, is derived from Human platelets.
