Specificity
Reacts with the laminin receptor alpha-6beta-1 and alpha-6beta-4 complexes.
Application
Immunoprecipitation, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry in frozen tissue sections. Product does not detect alpha 6 in Western blot since the epitope most likely involves both alpha 6 and beta 1 integrin subunit. Product does not block alpha 6 integrin mediated cell adhesion to laminin. Activation of integrin signaling properties by MA6 has not been characterized. Immunoprecipitation of VLA-6 from lysate of 10E6 cell equivalent requires 2 μg of MA6. Recommended concentration for flow cytometry - 10 μg/mL, staining of frozen tissue sections - 20 μg/mL.
Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.
Cell lines tested by using MA6 to express (6 integrins include: mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells, melanoma cell line B16F1, squamous carcinoma SCC-VII, fibroblast cell line NIH-3T3, splenic T lymphocytes, thymocytes and various T cell lines.
This Anti-Integrin α6 Antibody, clone MA6 is validated for use in FC, IP, IH for the detection of Integrin α6.
