Tool Details

  • Tool name: Anti-integrin a3 not inhibiting
  • Clone: P1F2
  • Tool type: Antibody
  • Tool sub-type: Primary Antibody
  • Class: Monoclonal
  • Reactivity: Human
  • Host: Mouse
  • Molecular weight of the target: 80-90kDa
  • Application: FACS, Immunofluorescence, Immunohistochemistry, Immunoprecipitation
  • Description: Signals transduced by integrins play a role in many biological processes, including cell growth, differentiation, migration and apoptosis. Integrin ?3 (P1F2) is a mouse monoclonal antibody developed to identify four distinct classes (I, II, III, IV) of cell surface receptors for native collagen. P1F2 stimulated attachment of cell adhesion/collagen binding or had no effect, and bound to types I and VI collagen receptors but not to fibronectin.
  • Immunogen: HT1080 human fibrosarcoma cell line
  • Isotype: IgG1
  • Research area: Cell biology

  • For Research Use Only

Target Details

  • Target: Integrin alpha-3 (CD49b)
  • Target molecular weight: 80-90kDa
  • Target background: ?2?1 complex of Collagen receptors: I, II, III, IV.

Application Details

  • Application: FACS, Immunofluorescence, Immunohistochemistry, Immunoprecipitation
  • Application notes: A good starting concentration for immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunofluorescence (IF), and immunocytochemistry (ICC) when using mouse Ig is 2-5 ug/ml. For western blots, the recommended concentration range of mouse Ig 0.2-0.5 ug/ml. In general, rabbit antibodies demonstrate greater affinity and are used at a magnitude lower Ig concentration for initial testing. The recommended concentrations for rabbit Ig are 0.2-0.5 ug/ml (IF, IHC and ICC) and 20-50 ng/ml (WB).

Handling

  • Storage conditions: For immediate use, short term storage at 4°C up to two weeks is recommended. For long term storage, divide the solution into volumes of no less than 20 ul for freezing at -20°C or -80°C. The small volume aliquot should provide sufficient reagent for short term use. Freeze-thaw cycles should be avoided. For concentrate or bioreactor products, an equal volume of glycerol, a cryoprotectant, may be added prior to freezing.
