| Product description |
The VI-PL2 monoclonal antibody reacts with CD61, a type I integral transmembrane glycoprotein also known as integrin beta 3. CD61 forms a complex with CD41 (platelet gpIIb) and CD51 (integrin alphaV). It is expressed on osteoclasts, fibroblasts, platelets, macrophages, and megakaryocytes and appears to bind to fibronectin, vitronectin, thrombospondin, and fibrinogen and vWF. The VI-PL2 antibody is reported to be cross-reactive with baboon, rhesus, and cynomolgus.1) Leucocyte Typing VI: White Cell Differentiation Antigens: Proceedings of the Sixth International Workshop and Conference Held in Kobe, Japan, 10-14 November 1996.
