The 429 antibody reacts with 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 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.
