Immunogen
Human squamous cell carcinoma cells (SCC9)
Application
Detect Integrin β4 using this Anti-Integrin β4 Antibody, clone ASC-3 validated for use in FC, IP, IH.
Inhibition of cell attachment: inhibits SCC9 cell adhesion to human

laminin and laminin GD-2 peptide, but not to EHS laminin, type IV collagen or fibronectin. Does not inhibit SKOV-3 cell adhesion to laminin, fibronectin or type IV collagen.

Immunohistochemistry: on acetone-fixed frozen human epithelial tissues including tongue, foreskin and ovary. Not for use on formalin-fixed tissue.

Flow cytometry: stains human squamous cell carcinoma (SCC9), ovarian carcinoma (SKOV-3) and umbilical vein endothelium (HUVEC). Stains RKO or K562 cells transfected for CD104 expression. Does not stain monocytes, neutrophils, lymphocytes, T cells, B cells or platelets.

Immunoprecipitation: precipitates PAGE bands of 66, 76, 120, 135 and 200kDa (reduced) or 66, 110, 125, 130 and 190kDa (non-reduced) from surface-biotinylated SCC9 cells.

Working dilutions must be determined by end user.
