Application

Research Sub CategoryIntegrins

This Anti-Integrin αVβ6 Antibody, clone E7P6, azide free is validated for use in FC, IC, IH for the detection of Integrin αVβ6.

Immunohistochemistry (acetone fixation): Effective for human tissue, especially in circumstances where up-regulation of the receptor is being evaluated. The antibody does not stain formalin-fixed or paraffin-embedded tissues, and may not detect the low-level basal expression of alpavbeta6 in epithelia of healthy adults.

Immunocytochemistry: Effective for F6, HT-29, H441 cell lines (others not tested).

Flow cytometry: Effective for detection of human and monkey alphaVbeta6

Not effective for immunoprecipitation or western blot.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.

Specificity

Monoclonal antibody MAB2074Z, raised by immunizing Balb/c mice with recombinant secreted human avb6, is useful for flow cytometry and is especially useful for immunocytochemistry. The antibody works well for immunohistochemistry of human tissue, especially under circumstances where upregulation of the receptor is being evaluated. The antibody does not stain formalin-fixed or paraffin-embedded tissues, and may not detect the low-level basal expression of alphavbeta6 in epithelia of healthy adults. This antibody does not recognize the alphaV subunit and does not react with alphaV integrins other than alphavbeta6. Because the antibody is not effective in western blot, it is unknown whether the epitope recognized by the antibody localizes to the alphavbeta6 heterodimer or to the beta6 subunit only.

Storage and Stability

Maintain at 2-8°C in undiluted aliquots for up to 12 months.
