Integrin alpha-2, also designated CD49b, serves as a critical cell surface receptor that mediates cellular adhesion to collagen and plays essential roles in platelet function, cell migration, and extracellular matrix interactions. As the alpha subunit of the VLA-2 receptor complex, ITGA2 participates in signal transduction pathways that influence cell behavior in contexts ranging from hemostasis to tumor progression, making it a valuable target for researchers investigating adhesion biology, platelet disorders, and cancer metastasis.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 16D2, offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding experimental workflows require. Produced using recombinant technology with a defined sequence, this antibody eliminates the lot-to-lot variability that can compromise longitudinal studies or multi-site collaborations. The human IgG1 isotype format and affinity chromatography purification ensure high purity suitable for sensitive detection methods.
Validation studies demonstrate reliable performance in flow cytometry applications, with testing on BxPC-3 cells showing clear positive signal separation from isotype control when used at 1:100 dilution. The protocol employed standard blocking with normal goat serum followed by FITC-conjugated secondary antibody detection, providing researchers with a validated starting point for their own optimization. The antibody is also suitable for ELISA applications, with recommended flow cytometry dilutions ranging from 1:50 to 1:200 depending on specific experimental conditions.
Supplied in a glycerol-based PBS buffer optimized for long-term stability at -20°C or -80°C, this antibody supports research programs focused on signal transduction, integrin biology, and platelet function studies in human samples.
