The Mouse CD49b Monoclonal Antibody (AF647 Conjugated, DX5, AGEL1444) from Assay Genie is a powerful tool for research involving CD49b, a cell surface marker essential for natural killer (NK) cell function and immune responses. This monoclonal antibody, conjugated with AF647 for fluorescent detection, offers high specificity and sensitivity in detecting CD49b in mouse samples.CD49b, also known as DX5, is a critical marker for identifying NK cells, a vital component of the innate immune system responsible for recognizing and eliminating infected or abnormal cells. The expression of CD49b is a key indicator of NK cell activity and function, making this antibody an indispensable resource for investigators studying immune responses, cancer immunotherapy, and infectious diseases in mouse models.
By targeting CD49b, researchers can analyze NK cell behavior, activation, and cytotoxicity, shedding light on the mechanisms underlying immune responses and potential therapeutic interventions. The Mouse CD49b Monoclonal Antibody (AF647 Conjugated, DX5, AGEL1444) facilitates accurate and precise detection of CD49b in various experimental settings, providing valuable insights into NK cell biology and immunological processes.

Background:
DX5 antigen has been recently characterized as CD49b. It is a 150 kD integrin α chain also known as α2 integrin, VLA-2 α chain, and integrin α2 chain. CD49b non-covalently associates with CD29 (β1 integrin) to form the CD49b/CD29 complex known as VLA-2, a receptor for collagen and laminin. CD49b is expressed on platelets, the majority of NK cells, NKT cells, and a small subset of CD8+ T cells (this population can be significantly increased following viral infection). DX5 is used for the identification and isolation of NK cells, and is especially useful for identifying NK cells in mice lacking the NK1.1 antigen.
