Anti Vitronectin (human)

Mouse monoclonal antibody

Cat.No. CSI 003-21

Subclass IgG1/k
Presentation:

Preparation: Protein-A/G purified
Content: Available in 200 µL and 1 mL
Concentration: 1 mg/mL
Solvent: 0.01 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, with 0.5 M NaCl and 15 mM sodium azide
Storage: In the dark at 4-8ºC

Antigen:

Vitronectin is a plasma glycoprotein that circulates in the blood. Vitronectin is circulating as a mixture of both 75 kDa and 65 kDa forms. Vitronectin is a major cell adhesive glycoprotein and is a common component of extracellular matrix and plasma. It competes effectively with other plasma proteins and is often involved in cell attachment, regulation of blood coagulation and immune responses. It has similar tissue distribution to fibronectin and also its integrin receptor recognises fibronectin (2).

Immunogen:

Human vitronectin purified from plasma by heparin-affinity chromatography

Specificity:

CSI 003-21 is highly specific for vitronectin. There is no evidence for cross-reactivity with other connective tissue proteins (fibronectin, elastin, collagen, laminin).
CSI 003-21 cross-reacts with vitronectin from cat, dog, rabbit and to a lesser extent with cow.

Epitope specificity:

Epitope is located within a cyanogen bromide cleavage fragment comprising aa 1-310

Reactivity:

CSI 003-21 binds nearly as well to native vitronectin as to denatured. It interferes with vitronectin-inhibition of the lysis of terminal complement complexes (TCC) and it inhibits vitronectin binding of PAI-1.
