The PerCP-Cyanine5.5 Anti-Human CD61 Antibody (VI-PL2) is a vital tool for researchers studying the CD61 protein, which is a key marker for platelets and megakaryocytes. This monoclonal antibody is specifically designed for use in flow cytometry applications, allowing for precise detection and characterization of CD61-expressing cells in human samples.CD61, also known as integrin beta 3, plays a crucial role in platelet aggregation and adhesion, making it essential for normal hemostasis and thrombosis. Its expression pattern and function in various cell types, including platelets and megakaryocytes, highlight its importance in vascular biology and clot formation processes.
The PerCP-Cyanine5.5 Anti-Human CD61 Antibody (VI-PL2) offers high sensitivity and specificity in detecting CD61, enabling researchers to accurately profile and quantify CD61-positive cells in complex biological samples. This antibody is an invaluable tool for investigations in hematology, vascular biology, and thrombosis research, providing a deeper understanding of CD61's role in platelet function and cardiovascular health.
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:
CD61, also known as integrin β3 and glycoprotein IIIa (gpIIIa), is a 90 kD type I integral transmembrane glycoprotein. It is a member of the integrin family, associating with platelet gpIIb (CD41) to form CD41/CD61 complex and with integrin αV (CD51) to form αV/β3 (CD51/CD61) integrin. CD41/CD61 is expressed on platelets and megakaryocytes, and plays a role in platelet activation and aggregation through interaction with fibrinogen, fibronectin, vWF, and other RGD-containing adhesion molecules. CD51/CD61 is expressed on platelets, osteoclasts, fibroblasts, macrophages, and some tumor cells involved in tumor metastasis, and in adenovirus infection through binding to RGD motif in extracellular matrix proteins.
