General description

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.

Specificity

Clone PS/2 recognises the murine alpha4 chain of the VLA-4 integrin heterodimer, 150 kDa. The antibody also reacts with human VLA-4.
Reactivity with other species has not been confirmed.

Application

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.

Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells arise from the vascular endothelium of the dorsal aorta and subsequently switch niche to the fetal liver through unknown mechanisms. Here we report that vascular endothelium-specific deletion of mouse Drosha (Drosha cKO), an enzyme essential

Adhesive properties of leukemia cells shape the degree of organ infiltration and the extent of leukocytosis. CD44 and the integrin VLA-4, a CD49d/CD29 heterodimer, are important factors of progenitor cell adhesion in bone marrow (BM). Here, we report their cooperation

Neovascularization depends on vascular cell proliferation and on the stabilization of vessels by association of vascular smooth muscle-like pericytes with ECs. Here we show that integrin alpha4beta1 (VLA-4) and VCAM-1 promote close intercellular adhesion between ECs and pericytes and that
Integrins and cAMP mediate netrin-induced growth cone collapse.
