CAT#: TA385969

Recombinant Anti-alpha 5 beta 1 Integrin (Clone M200 (Volociximab))

Product Images

Flow-cytometry using the anti-alpha 5 beta 1 Integrin M200 (Volociximab) (Ab00449) PBMC's (A) and U93 cells (B) were stained with unimmunized rabbit IgG antibody (black line) or the rabbit-chimeric version of M200 (Volociximab) (TA385969, blue line) at a concentration of 10 µg/ml for 30 mins at RT. After washing, bound antibody was detected using anti-rabbit IgG JK (FITC-conjugate) antibody (129936) at 2 µg/ml and cells analyzed on a FACSCanto flow-cytometer.

Specifications

Product Data

• Clone Name: M200 (Volociximab)
• Applications: ELISA, FC, IF, IHC
• Reactivities: Human
• Modifications: NOT FOR THERAPEUTIC USE - This is a research-grade biosimilar. This chimeric rabbit antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Human IgG4 format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
• Host: Rabbit
• Isotype: IgG, kappa
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Immunogen: Heterodimeric α5β1Fc fusion protein
• Specificity: The antibody binds to human α5β1 integrin with a Kd of 0.367 nM (determined by Biacore), an EC50 of 0.2 nM and an IC50 of 2.3 nM.
  
  The antibody binds specifically to α5β1 integrin, which is part of the superfamily of glycoprotein transmembrane receptors for ligands such as fibronectin, vitronectin, laminins and collagens. The α5β1 integrin receptor plays a key role in cellular processes such as inflammation, cell proliferation, angiogenesis and tumour metastasis. Comprising the variable domain of the original mouse antibody, a chimeric mouse:human IgG4 version of this antibody has been tested in vivo: In cynomolgus monkeys with laser-induced choroidal neovascularization (CNV), in rabbit models and in human volunteers. The antibody reached Phase II clinical trials with PDL Biopharma and Biogen-Idec.
