The Mouse CD49b Monoclonal Antibody FITC-Conjugated (DX5) is a powerful tool for researchers investigating immune responses and cell interactions. This antibody, available from Assay Genie, specifically targets CD49b, a cell surface molecule known for its involvement in cell adhesion and immune cell function.With its FITC conjugation, this antibody allows for easy visualization and detection of CD49b in flow cytometry and immunofluorescence experiments. Its monoclonal nature ensures high specificity and consistency in binding to CD49b, providing reliable results in various cell types and experimental setups.CD49b, also known as DX5, is a key marker for natural killer (NK) cells and a subset of T cells.
By targeting this molecule, researchers can gain insights into the behavior and function of these immune cells in both normal physiological processes and disease conditions.This FITC-conjugated monoclonal antibody is a valuable tool for studies in immunology, cancer research, and beyond, offering a precise means to investigate the role of CD49b in immune responses, cell trafficking, and anti-tumor immunity. Researchers can count on its performance and specificity to advance their understanding of immune system dynamics and potentially uncover new therapeutic targets.

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.
