flow cytometry: 10 μg/mL
Immunoprecipitation: Immunoprecipitation of VLA-2 integrins from lysate of 10E6 cell equivalent requires 2-5 μg of BHA2.1
immunohistochemistry in frozen tissue sections: 5 μg/mL
Immunohistochemistry in paraffin sections: 1:50. Block endogenous peroxidase using 0.5% H202 in 80% ethanol, 30 min and unspecific reactions using NGS 1:5 in PBS, 20min RT. Bouin′s fixative solution has been used successfully. Incubation time, conditions: 24 h; 4°C; pretreatment: 0.1% trypsin, 30 min, 37°C. Intracytoplasmic staining near cell membranes.
Does not detect alpha2 integrin subunit by Western blot presumably due to conformational properties of the epitope involved. The epitope for BHA2.1 is dependent on the presence of the (I) domain of alpha2 integrin subunit and does not bind VLA-2 variant which lacks the I-domain.
Function Blocking: BHA2.1 inhibits VLA-2 mediated cell adhesion to collagen and laminin; complete inhibition can generally be achieved at a final concentration of 10 μg/mL.
Final working dilutions must be determined by end user.

Virus-receptor binding is an essential step in every virus infectious process. Many viruses employ more than one receptor molecule or even receptor complexes for attachment. In this study, we investigate the binding of Echovirus 1 (Echo1) and Coxsackievirus A9 (CAV-9)

β1 integrins are critical for T cell migration, survival and costimulation. The integrin α2β1, which is a receptor for collagen, also named VLA-2, is a major costimulatory pathway of effector T cells and has been implicated in arthritis pathogenesis. Herein
