Product Specifications

Immunogen

Mouse embryonal carcinoma P19 cells with myeloma P3X63Ag9.653 cells.

Specificity

Antibody was raised against mouse integrin VLA-5 (alpha5beta1), a fibronectin receptor. The antibody was prepared by fusion of spleen cells from a Fisher rat immunized with mouse embryonal carcinoma P19 cells with myeloma P3X63Ag9.653 cells. Cell lines tested to express alpha5beta1, include: P19 cells, mouse melanoma B16F1 cells, mouse squamous carcoma SCC cells and thymocytes.

Application Notes
Inhibition of cell adhesion to fibronectin: 10 ul/mL Note that where cell adhesion to fibronectin involving other fibronectin receptors, such as VLA-4 (alpha4beta1) integrin, is involved, inhibition of cell adhesion by BMC5 alone may not be complete. Immunohistochemistry on acetone-fixed frozen sections only; formalin fixation is not recommended.
Please Note: Optimal dilutions of this antibody should be experimentally determined.

Background: Integrin alpha 5 beta 1

Integrins are transmembrane proteins that mediate interactions between adhesion molecules on adjacent cells and/or the extracellular matrix (ECM). Integrins have diverse roles in several biological processes including cell migration during development and wound healing, cell differentiation, and apoptosis. Their activities can also regulate the metastatic and invasive potential of tumor cells. They exist as heterodimers consisting of alpha and beta subunits. Some alpha and beta subunits exhibit specificity for one another and may be designated as a VLA (very late antigen) member. Heterodimers often preferentially bind certain cell adhesion molecules, or constituents of the ECM. Although they have no catalytic activity, integrins can be part of multimolecular signaling complexes known as focal adhesions.
