Tool Details

*FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY (for other uses, please contact the licensing team)

• Name: Anti-integrin a2 [P1H6]
• Research fields: Cell biology
• Clone: P1H6
• Tool sub type: Primary antibody
• Class: Monoclonal
• Molecular weight: Predicted: 129 kDa; Apparent: 150 kDa
• Strain: Application Notes: Immunostaining with frozen or acetone fixation. Doesn't work for FFPE. No function inhibition.
• Reactivity: Human
• Host: Mouse
• Application: FACS, Immunofluorescence, Immunohistochemistry, Immunoprecipitation, Western Blot
• Description: Signals transduced by integrins play a role in many biological processes, including cell growth, differentiation, migration and apoptosis. Integrin ?2 (P1H6) is a mouse monoclonal antibody raised developed to identify four distinct classes (I, II, III, IV) of cell surface receptors for native collagen.
• Immunogen: HT1080 human fibrosarcoma cell line
• Isotype: IgG3

Target Details

• Target: Itegrin alpha 2 (CD49b)
• Molecular weight: Predicted: 129 kDa; Apparent: 150 kDa
• Target background: ?2?1 complex of Collagen receptors: I, II, III, IV. P1H6 recognizes an epitope that requires activation of the ?2?1 complex.

Applications

• Application: FACS, Immunofluorescence, Immunohistochemistry, Immunoprecipitation, Western Blot
• Application notes: . A good starting concentration for immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunofluorescence (IF), and immunocytochemistry (ICC) when using mouse Ig is 2-5 ug/ml. For western blots, the recommended concentration range of mouse Ig 0.2-0.5 ug/ml. In general, rabbit antibodies demonstrate greater affinity and are used at a magnitude lower Ig concentration for initial testing. The recommended concentrations for rabbit Ig are 0.2-0.5 ug/ml (IF, IHC and ICC) and 20-50 ng/ml (WB).

Handling

• Storage conditions: For immediate use, short term storage at 4°C up to two weeks is recommended. For long term storage, divide the solution into volumes of no less than 20 ul for freezing at -20°C or -80°C. The small volume aliquot should provide sufficient reagent for short term use. Freeze-thaw cycles should be avoided. For concentrate or bioreactor products, an equal volume of glycerol, a cryoprotectant, may be added prior to freezing.
• Shipping conditions: Dry ice
