SpecificityFIB504 recognizes an epitope on intergin beta-7 subunit that overlaps completely with the epitope defined by Fib27 and Fib30, and also partially with the epitope defined by FIB21 and FIB22. In the mouse beta-7 is selectively found on the majority of mature lymphocytes, whereas a small subpopulation of thymocytes and bone marrow cells express beta-7. Beta-7 is also expressed in variable amounts in CD4 T memory cells. Integrin molecules mediate cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix adhesion and are involved in lymphocyte homing, leukocyte recruitment to inflammatory sites, myogenesis, hemopoiesis, and melanoma metastasis.

Scientific BackgroundThis chimeric rabbit antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Rat IgG2a format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques. FIB504 can be used for IF, FC and can block TKI cell aggregation and beta-7 intergrin-mediated cell adhesion.
Immunofluorescence staining of fixed human peripheral blood monocytes (PBMs) with anti-Integrin beta-7 antibody FIB504 (R-2044-200) Immunofluorescence analysis of paraformaldehyde fixed human PBMs on Shi-fix™ coverslips, permeabilized with 0.15% Triton and stained with the chimeric rabbit IgG version of FIB504 (R-2044-200) at 10 µg/mL for 1h followed by Alexa Fluor® 488 secondary antibody (1 µg/mL), showing memrbane staining. The nuclear stain is DAPI (blue). Panels show from left-right, top-bottom R-2044-200, DAPI, merged channels and an isotype control. The isotype control was stained with an anti-Fluorescein antibody (Ab102-23.0) followed by Alexa Fluor® 488 secondary antibody.
