The Mouse CD49b Monoclonal Antibody (APC Conjugated, DX5) is a powerful tool for researchers studying immune cell markers and cell adhesion molecules in mouse models. This antibody, labeled with allophycocyanin (APC), specifically targets CD49b, also known as DX5, a surface marker associated with natural killer cells and subsets of T and B cells in mice.Ideal for flow cytometry applications, this monoclonal antibody enables precise identification and analysis of CD49b-expressing cells in various tissues and experimental settings. Its high specificity and sensitivity make it invaluable for investigating immune responses, cell trafficking, and immune cell interactions in immunology and cancer research.
CD49b, a subunit of the VLA-2 integrin receptor, plays a crucial role in cell adhesion and migration, contributing to immune surveillance and immune-mediated responses. Understanding the expression and function of CD49b in immune cell populations is essential for unraveling the mechanisms underlying immune regulation and immune-mediated diseases in mouse models.By utilizing the Mouse CD49b Monoclonal Antibody (APC Conjugated, DX5), researchers can delve deeper into the complexities of mouse immune responses, paving the way for insights into immune cell dynamics, immune system dysregulation, and potential therapeutic targets in various disease contexts.

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.
