The mouse monoclonal antibody clone 9F10 binds to human CD49d, a 150 kDa integral membrane protein known as integrin alpha4 (ITGA4). Together with integrin beta1 (CD29), CD49d forms the VLA-4 heterodimer that serves as a receptor for fibronectin and VCAM-1. VLA-4 is widely expressed on lymphocytes, monocytes, thymocytes, and NK cells. CD49d can also dimerize with integrin beta7 to form a receptor that binds the mucosal vascular addressin molecule, MAdCAM-1. CD49d is involved in cellular adhesion to other cells and the extracellular matrix. CD49d was also studied as a prognostic marker for disease progression and treatment options for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).

RECOMMENDED USAGE

Flow cytometry: The suggested use of this reagent is 5 µL per 1 million cells in a staining volume of 100 µL. If whole blood is analyzed, then use 5 µL per 100 µL. It is recommended that users titrate the antibody to obtain the optimal result for their specific application. The content of a vial (0.5 mL) is sufficient for 100 tests.
