Target
Vitronectin is a plasma glycoprotein that circulates in the blood. Vitronectin is circulating as a mixture of both 75 kDa and 65 kDa forms. Vitronectin is a major cell adhesive glycoprotein and is a common component of extracellular matrix and plasma. It competes effectively with other plasma proteins and is often involved in cell attachment, regulation of blood coagulation and immune responses. It has similar tissue distribution to fibronectin and also its integrin receptor recognises fibronectin (1).
Application 1
ELISA
CSI 004-27 is suitable for ELISA (1, 2, 3).
Application 2
WB
CSI 004-27 is suitable for immunoblotting.
Application 3
IHC
CSI 004-27 mmunostaining of frozen PLP-fixed sections of bovine tissues.
Application 4
AP
The antibody can be used as an affinity purification reagent of vitronectin from bovine plasma or serum and to quantitatively deplete plasma or serum of vitronectin. It can also be used to probe vitronectin conformation.
