Integrin beta-4 (ITGB4), also designated CD104, serves as a critical transmembrane receptor that mediates cell-matrix adhesion and participates in signal transduction pathways governing cell survival, proliferation, and migration. As a component of the α6β4 integrin heterodimer, ITGB4 anchors epithelial cells to the basement membrane through interactions with laminin and plays well-documented roles in cancer progression, where its dysregulation has been linked to enhanced invasive potential and metastatic behavior.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 5C2, offers researchers the consistency and reliability that comes with sequence-defined production. Unlike traditional hybridoma-derived antibodies, recombinant technology ensures that every lot performs identically to the last, eliminating the variability that can compromise longitudinal studies or multi-site collaborations. The mouse IgG2a isotype and affinity-chromatography purification further contribute to dependable performance across experiments.
Validation studies confirm robust detection of ITGB4 in flow cytometry applications, with recommended dilutions ranging from 1:20 to 1:500. Surface staining of A549 human lung carcinoma cells demonstrated clear positive signal separation from isotype control, indicating specific recognition of endogenous ITGB4 on this epithelial cell line. The antibody has also been validated for ELISA, providing flexibility for researchers working across different experimental platforms.
For investigators studying integrin-mediated signaling, epithelial cell biology, or tumor microenvironment interactions, this antibody provides a reliable tool for characterizing ITGB4 expression in human samples. Its validated performance in flow cytometry makes it particularly well-suited for phenotypic profiling of cell populations where surface integrin expression informs functional studies.
