This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided.

Mouse (Mus musculus); Due to limited knowledge and inability for testing each and every species, the reactivity of the antibody may extend to other species which are not listed hereby.

Rats are used to make rat monoclonal anti mouse antibodies. There are less rat- than mouse clones however. Rats genes from rodents of the genus Rattus norvegicus are often studied in vivo as a model of human genes in Sprague-Dawley or Wistar rats.

Mouse or mice from the Mus musculus species are used for production of mouse monoclonal antibodies or mabs and as research model for humans in your lab. Mouse are mature after 40 days for females and 55 days for males. The female mice are pregnant only 20 days and can give birth to 10 litters of 6-8 mice a year. Transgenic, knock-out, congenic and inbread strains are known for C57BL/6, A/J, BALB/c, SCID while the CD-1 is outbred as strain.

CD49d, the alpha 4 chain (100 kDa) of the VLA-4 integrin heterodimer (Mr 150-kDa) VLA-4 belongs to the beta 1-integrin family, which functions both as cell-matrix and cell-cell receptors.^1-3 As a matrix receptor VLA-4 binds to an alternatively spliced domain of fibronectin, while as a cellular receptor it associates with its counter-receptor ligand VCAM-1. ^1, 2 In addition to CD44/pgp-1, VLA-4 has been shown to be important for lymphopoiesis, and is also believed to be important for extravasation of lymphocytes into sites of inflammation as a second signal in addition to LFA/ICAM-1. ^2, 3 CD49d/VLA-4 is expressed in low amounts on resting lymphocytes and monocytes, is absent or minimally detectable on stromal cells, whereas virtually all lymphoid and myeloid cells in bone marrow and in long-term culture are positive. ^1, 2 Antibody PS/2 also reacts with human VLA-4.1; Since it is not possible to test each and every species our knowledge on the corss reactivity of the antibodies is limited. This particular antibody might cross react with speacies outside of the listed ones.
