The Mouse CD49b Monoclonal Antibody (PE/Cyanine7 Conjugated, DX5-AGEL1450) from Assay Genie is a powerful tool for researchers studying immune cell surface molecules in mice. This antibody is specifically designed to target CD49b, a key integrin involved in cell adhesion and migration processes within the immune system. Developed for use in flow cytometry applications, this antibody is conjugated with PE/Cyanine7, providing researchers with an efficient and reliable method for identifying and characterizing CD49b-expressing cells in mouse samples. CD49b, also known as DX5, is a well-known marker for natural killer (NK) cells and some subsets of T cells in mice.
By targeting CD49b, researchers can better understand the roles of these immune cell populations in various physiological and pathological processes, including immune responses to infections, tumor surveillance, and autoimmune diseases.The Mouse CD49b Monoclonal Antibody (PE/Cyanine7 Conjugated, DX5-AGEL1450) from Assay Genie is a valuable tool for immunologists, cancer researchers, and anyone studying immune cell function in mouse models. With its high specificity and sensitivity, this antibody enables precise detection and analysis of CD49b-expressing cells, making it an essential component of any immunology research toolkit.

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.
