The Mouse CD49b Monoclonal Antibody (PerCP-Cyanine5.5 Conjugated, DX5, AGEL1443) is a powerful tool for researchers studying immune cell populations and their interactions. This antibody specifically targets CD49b, a cell surface marker found on natural killer cells and a subset of T cells. By binding to CD49b, this antibody allows for the identification and analysis of these specific cell populations in various assays, including flow cytometry.CD49b, also known as DX5 antigen, is a crucial molecule involved in the activation and function of natural killer cells, which play a vital role in the immune response against tumors and virally infected cells.
By targeting CD49b, researchers can gain valuable insights into the role of natural killer cells in immune surveillance and anti-tumor immunity.The conjugation of PerCP-Cyanine5.5 to this antibody enhances its utility in flow cytometry applications, providing researchers with a reliable tool for multiparameter analysis of immune cell subsets. With its high specificity and sensitivity, the Mouse CD49b Monoclonal Antibody is an essential reagent for studies focused on understanding the role of natural killer cells and T cell subsets in immune responses, cancer immunology, and infectious diseases.

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.
