ColorWheel^® technology is a novel and proprietary method of creating your own antibody and dye combinations for use in flow cytometry. By incubating any ColorWheel^® antibody with any ColorWheel^® dye, researchers can quickly and simply produce primary conjugated antibodies for use in single color or multicolor flow cytometry analysis. Each ColorWheel^® antibody and dye is lyophilized for long long-term storage, allowing for simplicity and flexibility without compromise. ColorWheel^® technology requires both ColorWheel^® antibody and ColorWheel^® dye for Flow Cytometry application.

Clone 4F10 is a mouse monoclonal antibody that detects human integrin a6 (CD49f).

SW1222 human colorectal cells.

Quality Control Testing

Evaluated by Flow Cytometry in Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC).

Staining of one million Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) was performed using 5 μL of a 1:1 mixture of Cat. No. CWA-1072, Anti-Human CD49f (4F10) ColorWheel^® Dye-Ready mAb and Cat. No. CWD-PE ColorWheel^® Antibody-Ready Phycoerythrin (PE) Dye or an equivalent amount of PE-conjugated Mouse IgG2b isotype control.

Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user as specimens, and experimental conditions may vary with the end user

Integrin alpha-6 (UniProt: P23229; also known as CD49 antigen-like family member F, VLA-6, CD49f) is encoded by the ITGA6 gene (Gene ID: 3655) in human. Integrins are heterodimeric integral membrane proteins composed of an a subunit and a b subunit that function in cell surface adhesion and signaling. They contain a large extracellular domain responsible for ligand binding, a single transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic domain. The exact combination of various a- and b-subunits dictates the binding specificity of integrins to different ECM components. Although both subunits are required for adhesion, the binding specificity primarily depends on the extracellular portion of the a-subunit. The structural and functional diversity of the integrin family is based upon the pairing abilities of the individual a and b subunits. Integrins are not constitutively active and their activation from a low ligand-binding affinity state to high ligand-binding affinity state requires conformational change that can originate from either from their cytoplasmic or extracellular interactions. The recognition site for most integrins that bind the ECM consists of an RGD (arginine-glycine-aspartic acid) sequence. Integrin a-6 is a single-pass type I membrane glycoprotein that is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-23), which is subsequently cleaved off to generate the mature form that contains an extracellular domain (aa 24-1050), a transmembrane domain (aa 1051-1076), and a cytoplasmic domain (aa 1077-1130). The mature form can be further processed into integrin a-6 heavy chain (aa 24-938), integrin a-6 light chain ( aa 942-1130), and a processed integrin a6 (aa 636-1130). Integrin a6 can heterodimerize with b1 to form a receptor for laminin on platelets. a6/b1 is also present in oocytes and is involved in sperm-egg fusion. Integrin a6/b4 heterodimer is a receptor for laminin in epithelial cells and plays a role in the hemidesmosome. It also binds to IGF-1 and IGF-2 and these binding are shown to be essential for IGF-2 signaling.

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8℃. Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial. Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL PBS. Protect from light.
