The PERCP Anti-Mouse CD49b Antibody (DX5) is a specialized tool designed for the detection and analysis of CD49b, a cell surface marker crucial in immune cell interactions and migration. This antibody, raised in mice, exhibits high specificity and sensitivity when used in flow cytometry applications, allowing for precise identification and characterization of CD49b-expressing cells in mouse samples.CD49b, also known as DX5, serves as a marker for natural killer cells and a subset of T cells, playing a key role in their function and activation. By targeting CD49b with this antibody, researchers can study the behavior and distribution of these immune cell populations in various experimental settings, providing valuable insights into immune responses, inflammation, and host defense mechanisms.
The versatile PERCP Anti-Mouse CD49b Antibody (DX5) is an essential addition to immunology research, facilitating the investigation of immune cell dynamics and the impact of CD49b expression in physiological and pathological conditions. Its reliable performance and compatibility with flow cytometry make it a valuable tool for studies focusing on immune cell subsets, immunotherapy, and the development of novel treatment strategies for immune-related disorders.

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.
