Invitrogen CD29 (Integrin beta 1) Monoclonal Antibody (eBioHMb1-1 (HMb1-1)), Super Bright 702, 100 µg, eBioscience™

Invitrogen CD29 (Integrin beta 1) Monoclonal Antibody (eBioHMb1-1 (HMb1-1)), Super Bright 702, 100 µg, eBioscience™

The eBioHMb1-1 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse and rat CD29 (integrin beta 1), a 110-120 kDa member of the beta integrin family expressed by leukocytes, endothelial, smooth muscle and epithelial cells. CD29 binds non-covalently with the alpha integrins CD49a-f to form the VLA-1 through VLA-6 complexes, as well as with CD51. These alpha-beta integrin heterodimers are capable of mediating a variety of cellular responses including adhesion, trafficking, proliferaton and differentiation. All integrins which include CD29 bind to extracellular matrix proteins including collagen, laminin, fibronectin and vitronectin, whereas some CD29-containing integrins can also interact with cellular receptors such as VCAM-1 and MadCAM-1.

• Super Bright 702 is a tandem dye that can be excited with the violet laser line (405 nm) and emits at 702 nm. We recommend using a 710/50 bandpass filter. Please make sure that your instrument is capable of detecting this fluorochrome.
• When using two or more Super Bright dye-conjugated antibodies in a staining panel, it is recommended to use Super Bright Complete Staining Buffer to minimize any non-specific polymer interactions. Please refer to the datasheet for Super Bright Staining Buffer for more information.
• Light sensitivity: This tandem dye is sensitive to photo-induced oxidation. Please protect this vial and stained samples from light.
• Fixation: Samples can be stored in IC Fixation Buffer (100 µL of cell sample + 100 µL of IC Fixation Buffer) or 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution for up to 3 days in the dark at 4°C with minimal impact on brightness and FRET efficiency/compensation. Some generalizations regarding fluorophore performance after fixation can be made, but clone specific performance should be determined empirically.
• Recommended Isotype Control: Armenian Hamster IgG Isotype Control (eBio299Arm), Super Bright 702, eBioscience™.
