The Mouse CD51 Monoclonal Antibody (RMV-7) is a specialized research tool offering precise binding to the CD51 protein, essential for studying cell adhesion and migration in various biological systems. This antibody, derived from hybridoma cells, exhibits high specificity towards mouse samples and is ideal for applications such as flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry.CD51, also known as integrin alpha V, plays a crucial role in cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interactions, influencing processes like tissue development, wound healing, and tumor metastasis. By targeting CD51 with this monoclonal antibody, researchers can gain valuable insights into the mechanisms governing cellular behavior, particularly in the context of angiogenesis, fibrosis, and cancer progression.
With its ability to selectively recognize and bind to CD51, the RMV-7 antibody opens up avenues for investigating complex cellular pathways and identifying potential therapeutic targets for diseases characterized by dysregulated cell adhesion and migration. Researchers across fields such as oncology, developmental biology, and regenerative medicine can benefit from the specificity and reliability offered by this antibody in their experimental studies.
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by flow cytometric analysis. The amount of the reagent is suggested to be used 5 µL of antibody per test (million cells in 100 µL staining volume or per 100 µL of whole blood). Please check your vial before the experiment. Since applications vary, the appropriate dilutions must be determined for individual use.

Background:
CD51 is a 140 kD protein, also known as αV integrin, vitronectin receptor, and integrin αV. It is a member of the integrin family, expressed on activated T cells, polymorphonuclear granulocytes, platelets, blastocysts, and osteoclasts. CD51 forms heterodimers by association with integrins β1, β3, β5 or β6; these complexes then act as receptors for multiple extracellular matrix proteins (ECM). The αvintegrin heterodimers have varied functions in development, stimulation/activation and homeostasis. The primary ligands for CD51 complexes are fibronectin, fibrinogen, vitronectin, thrombspondin, von Willebrand factor, and CD31. The RMV-7 antibody has been reported to block binding of CD51 to vitronectin, fibronectin, and CD31 in some cell types, as well as blocking LAK cell cytotoxicity.
