The DX5 Monoclonal Antibody (AGEL0441) is a PE-Cy5 conjugated antibody designed for the detection of mouse CD49b. This antibody specifically targets the CD49b protein, which is known to be involved in cell adhesion processes and is commonly found on natural killer cells and activated T cells in mice.CD49b, also known as integrin alpha-2, plays a key role in mediating cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interactions. Its expression can indicate the activation status of certain immune cell populations, making it a valuable marker for immunological studies in mouse models. The DX5 Monoclonal Antibody enables precise detection and analysis of CD49b-expressing cells in various tissues and experimental settings, providing researchers with a powerful tool for investigating immune responses, inflammation, and immune cell dynamics in murine systems.
Ideal for flow cytometry and immunofluorescence applications, this antibody offers high sensitivity and specificity, allowing for accurate quantification and characterization of CD49b-positive cells. Its use can aid in understanding the role of CD49b in immune function, cell trafficking, and immune cell interactions within the complex network of the immune system. Researchers interested in dissecting the intricacies of immune responses in mouse models will find the DX5 Monoclonal Antibody an indispensable resource for their studies.

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.
