Key features and details | |
Cat. No. | MABL-2722 |
Name | Anti-porcine VCAM mAbs |
Clone No. | AFD- 3F4 |
From | Recombinant Antibody |
Isotype | Engineer antibody |
Application | Blocking, ELISA, FC |
Species Reactivity | Pig |
Basic Information | |
Specificity | This antibody is specific for an epitope within domain 2 of porcine VCAM, which is expressed on activated endothelial cells. It des not cross-react with human VCAM. |
Alternative Name | pVCAM |
UniProt | F1S567 |
Immunogen | This antibody was raised by immunising BALB/c mice with a recombinant secreted form of porcine VCAM. |
Application Notes | The ability of this antibody to recognise porcine VCAM has been confirmed in ELISA analysis (Mueller et al, 1995). In FC analysis, this antibody reacts with porcine VCAM on TNF-a stimulated porcine aortic endothelial cells, but not to human VCAM on TNF-a stimulated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (Mueller et al, 1995). This antibody blocks VLA-4 dependent adhesion of peripheral blood human T cells to activated porcine aortic endothelial cells (Mueller et al, 1995). It also inhibits the binding of Ramos cells to a recombinant secreted form of porcine VCAM (Mueller et al, 1995). |
