The 429 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to both the long (~110 kDa) transmembrane-spanning form and the truncated (~47 kDa)
GPI-linked form of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1, CD106). CD106 is constitutively expressed on bone marrow stromal cells,
myeloid cells, and splenic dendritic cells. Its expression on endothelial cells is upregulated by inflammatory cytokines and in certain
pathologic conditions. CD106 expression has also been detected on apoptotic thymocytes, splenocytes, and lymphoid cell lines. VCAM-1 is a
counter-receptor for VLA-4 (α4β1 integrin) and LPAM-1 (α4β7 integrin), and the 429 antibody partially blocks VCAM-1-mediated binding
functions. Source of the immunogen was the mouse preadipose cell line PA6.
注意事项:
1.Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
2.Store undiluted at 4°C.
