The CD29, clone HMβ1-1, APC conjugate is a Armenian hamster monoclonal antibody (mAb) that recognizes the mouse and rat CD29 antigens. APC (allophycocyanin) is one of the brightest dyes used today. It is a stable and highly soluble phycobiliprotein, which provides maximal absorbance and fluorescence without susceptibility to internal or external fluorescence quenching. APC provides almost perfect quantum efficiencies and molar extinction coefficients. Use of APC in antibody conjugates results in probes with greatly enhanced detectability.


Specific for CD29
CD29 (cluster of differentiation 29) is a member of the integrin family which is expressed on leukocytes, endothelial cells, smooth muscle, and epithelial cells. CD29 is a beta integrin unit that associates with late-acting alpha integrin units to create heterodimeric integrin complex. Like other integrin family members, it is membrane-bound receptor involved in cell-cell interactions and cell-matrix interactions that may be involved in embryogenesis, tissue repair, and metastaic cancer. The CD29 Armenian hamster monoclonal antibody (mAb) reacts with both mouse and rat CD29.
