Integrin alpha-5, also known as CD49e or the fibronectin receptor alpha subunit, plays a central role in cell adhesion, migration, and extracellular matrix interactions. As a key component of the VLA-5 heterodimer, ITGA5 mediates fibronectin binding and participates in signaling pathways that regulate cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation. Its involvement in both normal tissue homeostasis and pathological processes makes it a valuable target for researchers investigating signal transduction mechanisms and stem cell biology.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 1E12, offers the consistency and reliability that demanding experimental workflows require. Produced using recombinant technology with a defined sequence, this antibody eliminates the lot-to-lot variability that can compromise longitudinal studies or multi-site collaborations. The human IgG1 isotype format, combined with affinity chromatography purification, ensures high specificity for your target while minimizing background interference.
Validation in immunohistochemistry demonstrates robust performance in paraffin-embedded human placenta tissue, with recommended dilutions ranging from 1:50 to 1:200 providing flexibility to optimize staining intensity for your specific tissue context. The validation protocol employed citrate buffer antigen retrieval at pH 6.0 on a Leica Bond system, offering a reliable starting point for researchers establishing their own IHC workflows. Additional compatibility with ELISA expands the utility of this antibody across different experimental platforms.
For investigators exploring integrin-mediated adhesion, fibronectin receptor signaling, or stem cell surface marker characterization, this ITGA5 antibody provides a dependable tool backed by documented human tissue validation and the reproducibility advantages inherent to recombinant antibody production.
