Integrin beta 7 Antibody (FIB504) [Alexa Fluor® 700] Summary

• Additional Information: Recombinant Monoclonal Antibody
• Immunogen: FIB504 was prepared by immunizing rats with TK1 cells.
• Specificity: FIB504 recognizes an epitope on Integrin beta 7 subunit that overlaps completely with the epitope defined by Fib27 and Fib30, and also partially with the epitope defined by FIB21 and FIB22. In the mouse beta-7 is selectively found on the majority of mature lymphocytes, whereas a small subpopulation of thymocytes and bone marrow cells express beta-7. Beta-7 is also expressed in variable amounts in CD4 T memory cells. Integrin molecules mediate cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix adhesion and are involved in lymphocyte homing, leukocyte recruitment to inflammatory sites, myogenesis, hemopoiesis, and melanoma metastasis.

Background

Integrin beta7 is a 130 kD glycoprotein, also known as integin betap. It is a member of the Ig superfamily. In association with integrin alpha4 or alphaE chain, beta7 forms alpha4/ beta7 or alphaE/ beta7 heterodimer. alpha4/ beta7 (CD49d/ beta7, LPAM-1) is expressed on majority of peripheral lymphocytes, small subsets of thymocytes and bone marrow progenitors. LPAM-1 binds to several ligands, VCAM-1, MAdCAM-1 and fibronectin, and is involved in lymphocyte adhesion, some hematopoietic progenitor cells migration. alphaE/ beta7 (CD103/ beta7, alphaIEL/ beta7) is expressed on intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL), dendritic epidermal T cells, T regulatory cells, a subset of CD8+ T cells in lymph nodes and lamina propria. CD103/ beta7 complex is thought to play a role in lymphocyte retention via interaction with its lignd E-Cadherin. The Fib504 antibody has been reported to react with mouse and human beta7 integrin and to block beta7 integrin-mediated cell adhesion in in vitro and in vivo studies.
