Integrin alpha-IIb (ITGA2B), also known as CD41 or platelet glycoprotein IIb, forms a critical heterodimeric complex with integrin beta-3 (GPIIIa/CD61) that serves as the primary fibrinogen receptor on platelet surfaces. This GPIIb/IIIa complex plays an essential role in platelet aggregation and thrombus formation, making it a key target for researchers investigating hemostasis, thrombotic disorders, and cardiovascular disease. Mutations in ITGA2B are associated with Glanzmann thrombasthenia, a rare bleeding disorder, while the receptor itself represents an important therapeutic target in antiplatelet therapy development.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 22B12, offers significant advantages for researchers requiring consistent, reproducible results across extended studies. Generated against recombinant human ITGA2B protein and expressed with a human IgG1 backbone, this antibody provides the sequence-defined specificity and lot-to-lot consistency that recombinant technology delivers. Affinity chromatography purification ensures high purity preparations suitable for demanding experimental workflows.
Validated for immunohistochemistry applications, this antibody has been successfully tested in paraffin-embedded human liver cancer tissue using the Leica Bond system at dilutions of 1:50 to 1:200. The validation protocol employed citrate buffer antigen retrieval and demonstrated clear target detection with HRP-conjugated secondary antibody visualization. The antibody is also suitable for ELISA-based detection methods, providing flexibility across different experimental platforms.
This ITGA2B antibody serves researchers studying platelet biology, megakaryocyte differentiation, tumor microenvironment interactions, and cardiovascular pathophysiology. Its human reactivity and validated performance in tissue sections make it particularly valuable for translational research connecting basic platelet biology to clinical applications.
