CD49b Mouse anti-Human, Brilliant Violet 711, Clone: AK-7 (also known as AK7), BD Optibuild™

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Supplier:  BD Biosciences 742647

Catalog No. BDB742647

Description

The AK-7 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD49b. CD49b is also known as integrin α2 chain, VLA-α2, and GP1a. CD49b is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein and belongs to the integrin family of extracellular matrix and cell-cell adhesion receptors. CD49b is expressed on numerous cell types including platelets, activated T cells, B cells, and monocytes. CD49b noncovalently associates with CD29 to form the VLA-2 complex (integrinα2/β1). The VLA-2 complex serves as a receptor for collagen and laminin. It can regulate responses mediated by proinflammatory effector cells.

The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV711 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. This dye is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BV421 with an Ex Max of 405nm and an acceptor dye with an Em Max at 711nm. BD Horizon BV711 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in a filter used to detect Cy™5.5 / Alexa Fluor™ 700-like dyes (eg, 712/20nm filter). Due to the excitation and emission characteristics of the acceptor dye, there may be moderate spillover into the Alexa Fluor™ 700 and PerCP-Cy5.5 detectors. However, the spillover can be corrected through compensation as with any other dye combination. BV711 is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BV421 and an acceptor dye with an emission maximum at 711 nm. This dye offers a very bright choice for the violet laser. Due to the excitation and emission characteristics of the acceptor dye, there may be moderate spillover into the Alexa Fluor™ 700 and PerCP-Cy5.5 detectors. BV711 will also have moderate spillover into the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet 786 detector.
