Anti-Integrin β4 Antibody, clone ASC-8 is an antibody against Integrin β4 for use in FC, IP, IH.
Immunoprecipitation: A representative lot of this antibody clone precipitated PAGE bands of 66, 76, 120, 135 and 200 kDa (reduced) or 66, 110, 125, 130 and 190 kDa (non-reduced) from surface-biotinylated SCC9 cells.

Immunohistochemistry: A representative lot of this antibody clone was used in immunohistochemistry (acetone-fixed frozen human epithelial tissues including tongue, foreskin and ovary. Not for use on formalin-fixed tissue).

Flow Cytometry: A representative lot of this antibody clone stained human squamous cell carcinoma (SCC9), ovarian carcinoma (SKOV-3) and umbilical vein endothelium (HUVEC). Stains RKO or K562 cells transfected for CD104 expression. Does not stain monocytes, neutrophils, lymphocytes, T cells, B cells or platelets.

Functional Activity Assay: A representative lot of this antibody clone induced a sub-basal split at the basement membrane in non-wounded tissue. In addition, wound closure was significantly inhibited by ASC-8, as the epithelial tongue only covered 40 percent of the wound area at 120 hours post-wounding. These results demonstrate that the β4 adhesion-blocking antibody may have adverse effects on normal tissue (Egles, C., et al., 2010).

Working dilutions must be determined by end user.

0.5 µg of the antibody was used to detect Integrin β4 in 1x10^6 A431 cells.
0.5 µg of the antibody was used to detect Integrin β4 in 1x10^6 HeLa cells.
