MaxLight™490 is a new Blue-Green photostable dye conjugate comparable to DyLight™488, Alexa Fluor™488 and offers better labeling efficiency, brighter imaging and increased immunodetection. Absorbance (491nm); Emission (515nm); Extinction Coefficient 73, 000.

CD51, a 140kD alpha subunit of the vitronectin receptor, which is otherwise known as the integrin alpha v chain. CD51 can form heterodimers at the cell surface with a variety of beta integrins including CD29 and CD61. Heterodimers of CD51/CD61 function as a receptor for vitronectin, and a wide array of RGD-containing proteins including fibronectin, fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor, laminin, thrombospondin and osteopontin. CD51/CD61 is primarily expressed on myeloid cells and activated T-cells. Alpha-V integrins may play a role in embryo implantation, angiogenesis and wound healing.

Applications:

Recommended Dilutions:
Immunohistochemistry: Frozen sections
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Hybridoma:
Spleen cells from immunized SD rats were fused with the cells of the P3X.63Ag8.653 myeloma cell line.

Storage and Stability:
Store product at 4°C in the dark. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4°C for 12 months after receipt as an undiluted liquid. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Caution: MaxLight™490 conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap.
