Anti-Integrin α4 Antibody, clone PS/2

Virtually all lymphoid and myeloid cells in bone marrow are reactive with the anti-VLA-4 antibody. VLA-4 is absent or minimally detectable on stromal cells. Myeloid cells maintained in Dexter-type long-term cultures of murine bone marrow are positive, as are lymphoid cells from Whitlock-White cultures.

Anti-Integrin α4 Antibody, clone PS/2 detects level of Integrin α4 & has been published & validated for use in FC, IF, IP, IH.

Flow cytometry: 2 μg per 10⁶ cells

Immunohistochemistry on frozen tissue sections

Immunoprecipitation

Cell adhesion assays

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.
