Further Information

Applications Description:
NKI-SAM-1 is suitable for flow cytometry (recommended range is 1:200 ? 1:500, using 0.2-0.5 ?g for 10^6 cells) and can be used to determine the VLA-5 expression in peripheral blood monocytes and monocyte derived dendritic cells (see refs 2 and 3), B cells and B-cell precursors (ref. 4), and in the less pathogenic yeast Candida species (ref. 5).
NKI-SAM-1 can also be applied in immunohisto-chemistry on frozen tissues, immunocytochemistry and immunoprecipitation. Optimal antibody dilution should be determined by titration.
Background:
Integrins are transmembrane glycoproteins that belong to the family of adhesion molecules. They promote interactions between cells and their environment, being both other cells or the extra- cellular matrix. Integrins are a family of heterodimeric membrane glycoproteins consisting of non-covalently associated subunits, i.e. an ?-subunit of 95 kDa that is conserved through the superfamily and a more variable ? subunit of 150-170 kDa. More than 18 ? and 8 ? subunits with numerous splice variant isoforms have been identified in mammals. The integrin ?5 chain (160 kDa) (CD49e), undergoes post-translational cleavage in the extracellular domain to yield disulfide-linked light (25 kDa) and heavy (135 kDa) chains, which non-covalently associate with the integrin ?1 subunit (CD29) (130 kDa), thus forming the heterodimer ?5-?1 very late antigen (VLA-5) complex. VLA-5 is a fibronectin receptor (FNr) that is expressed on thymocytes, T-cells, monocytes and platelets. It is also found on very early B-cells and activated B-cells. VLA-5 mediates binding of T- and B-cells to fibronectin, an extracellular matrix glycoprotein involved in cell adhesion and migRation in wound healing, embryonic development and malignant transformation. The VLA-5 or FNr binds only fibronectin recognizing the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence in the central region of the molecule.

Source:
NKI-SAM-1 is a monoclonal antibody obtained by fusion of mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells from BALB/C mice immunized with U937 histiocytic lymphoma cells.
Specificity:
NKI-SAM-1 recognizes the 135-kDa integrin- alpha 5 monocyte-specific antigen. As a result NKI-SAM-1 strongly reacts with monocytes, and weakly with granulocytes, platelets and T-lymphocytes. Its exact epitope is not known.
