The Mouse CD49b Monoclonal Antibody PE-Cyanine5 Conjugated (DX5, AGL1449) is a vital tool for researchers studying immune cell populations and their functions. This antibody specifically targets CD49b, also known as DX5, a marker predominantly expressed on natural killer (NK) cells and a subset of T cells in mice.With its PE-Cyanine5 conjugation, this antibody allows for fluorescent detection and sorting of CD49b-expressing cells in flow cytometry and other analytical techniques. This enables researchers to accurately identify and characterize NK cells and CD49b+ T cells within complex immune cell populations, aiding in the investigation of immune responses, inflammation, and cancer immunology.
By using this monoclonal antibody, researchers can delve deeper into the roles and interactions of CD49b-expressing cells in various physiological and pathological conditions. Its applicability in mouse models makes it an invaluable asset for studies exploring the immune system's intricacies and potential therapeutic interventions.

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.
