Technical Data
I7661-39B
Integrin, beta1 (CD29, Very Late Antigen, VLAb1, Platelet gplla)
Description:
CD29 or the integrin B1 belongs to the family of cell adhesion receptors. It was initially characterized independently as protein gpIIa appearing on platelets, as the common b-subunit of the very late activation antigen (VLA) and as a component of various protein complexes binding to extracellular matrix proteins. 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 (alpha1-8; alpha V). With the exception of red blood cells and possible weak expression on granulocytes, CD29 is expressed in nearly all cell and tissue types.

Applications:
Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry. Other applications have not been tested.

Recommended Dilution:
Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/paraffin): 1:15-1:30 for 60 minutes at RT. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 1mM EDTA, pH 8.0, for 10-20 minutes followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes. Use of a high-sensitivity detection system may be required.
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Positive Control:
Tonsil

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 at least 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
