The Mouse CD49b Monoclonal Antibody (AF647 Conjugated, DX5, AGEL1454) is a cutting-edge tool designed for researchers studying CD49b, a cell surface molecule with key roles in immune response and cell adhesion. This monoclonal antibody, labeled with AF647 for fluorescent detection, specifically targets CD49b in mouse samples and is optimized for flow cytometry and immunofluorescence applications.CD49b, also known as DX5, is a marker for natural killer (NK) cells and some T cells, playing a crucial role in their cytotoxic activity and homing to specific tissues. Its expression is associated with various immune processes, including anti-tumor responses and immune surveillance.
The AF647-conjugated DX5 antibody allows precise visualization and analysis of CD49b-expressing cells, facilitating detailed studies in immunology, cancer biology, and related fields.Researchers can utilize this monoclonal antibody to investigate the function of CD49b in various immune cell populations, explore its involvement in disease progression, and assess its potential as a therapeutic target. By providing a reliable tool for detecting CD49b in mouse models, the AF647-conjugated DX5 antibody supports in-depth research into immune system dynamics and contributes to advancing our understanding of immune-mediated pathologies.

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.
