From
Recombinant Antibody
Specificity
FIB504 recognizes an epitope on intergin 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.
Alternative Names

UniProt
P26011
Immunogen
FIB504 was prepared by immunizing rats with TK1 cells.
Application Notes
FIB504 can be used for IF, FC and can block TKI cell aggregation and beta-7 intergrin- mediated cell adhesion.
