Flow cytometric analysis of SD Rat splenocytes labelling Rat CD49B antibody at 1/200 (1 μg) dilution (Right) compared with a Armenian hamster monoclonal IgG isotype control (Left). Followed by Anti-Armenian Hamster IgG (H+L) biotin and Sav-PE. Then cells were stained with NK-1.1 - APC separately. Total viable cells, as determined by Fixable Viability Dye 452 (S0D0021), were used for analysis.

Background
CD49b, also known as integrin alpha-2, is a protein encoded by the CD49b gene in humans. It is a subunit of the integrin receptor family, specifically forming the VLA-2 receptor when paired with the beta-1 subunit. This receptor is primarily involved in mediating cell adhesion to collagen and laminin, playing a crucial role in various biological processes such as platelet aggregation, cell migration, and tissue repair. CD49b is expressed on various cell types, including natural killer cells and a subset of T cells, and has been implicated in immune responses and cancer progression. In cancer research, CD49b has been identified as a potential therapeutic target due to its role in promoting cell proliferation and invasion in certain malignancies.
