CD51 (CD51 Antigen, Integrin alpha V, ITGAV, Msk8, Vitronectin Receptor alpha Polypeptide, Vitronectin Receptor Subunit alpha, VNRA) (APC)

CD51, a 140kD alpha subunit of the vitronectin receptor, which is otherwise known as the integrin alpha v chain. CD51 can form heterodimers at the cell surface with a variety of beta integrins including CD29 and CD61. Heterodimers of CD51/CD61 function as a receptor for vitronectin, and a wide array of RGD-containing proteins including fibronectin, fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor, laminin, thrombospondin and osteopontin. CD51/CD61 is primarily expressed on myeloid cells and activated T-cells. Alpha-V integrins may play a role in embryo implantation, angiogenesis and wound healing.

Applications
Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry, Immunohistochemistry and Immunoprecipitation. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilutions
Immunohistochemistry: Frozen sections Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Hybridoma
Spleen cells from immunized SD rats were fused with the cells of the P3X.63Ag8.653 myeloma cell line.
Storage and Stability
Store product at 4°C in the dark. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4°C for 12 months after receipt as an undiluted liquid. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Caution: APC conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap.
Note: Applications are based on unconjugated antibody.

Intended for research use only. Not for use in human, therapeutic, or diagnostic applications.
