This Anti-Integrin α2β1 Antibody, clone BHA2.1, azide free is validated for use in FC, IH, IP, FUNC for the detection of Integrin α2β1.
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
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.
