The rat anti-mouse CD51 (clone RMV-7) antibody reacts with the 140 kDa integrin αV chain. Heterodimers of CD51 with several integrin β
chains function as receptors for extracellular matrix proteins. CD51/CD61 (αVβ3 integrin, vitronectin receptor) mediates adhesion to
fibronectin, fibrinogen, vitronectin, thrombospondin, von Willebrand factor, and CD31 (PECAM-1). It has been reported to be expressed on
activated T lymphocytes, polymorphonuclear granulocytes, blastocysts, and osteoclasts. CD51 has reportedly been found to be undetectable on
mouse platelets using either antibody clones H9.2B8 or RMV-7. CD51 also forms heterodimers with CD29 (integrin β1), integrins β5, β6, and
β8 chains. αV integrins have diverse functions in development and homeostasis. The rat anti-mouse (clone RMV-7) mAb has been reported to
block LAK-cell binding to vitronectin, fibronectin, fibrinogen, and CD31. Furthermore, the RMV-7 clone reportedly inhibits LAK-cell
cytoxicity against certain target cells by interfering with the binding of LAK cells to their target cells.
注意事项:
1.Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
2.Store undiluted at 4°C .
