The rat anti-mouse CD51 (clone RMV-7) antibody reacts with the 140 kDa integrin αV chain. Heterodimers of CD51 with several integrin β chains function as receptors for extracellular matrix proteins. CD51/CD61 (αVβ3 integrin, vitronectin receptor) mediates adhesion to fibronectin, fibrinogen, vitronectin, thrombospondin, von Willebrand factor, and CD31 (PECAM-1). It has been reported to be expressed on activated T lymphocytes, polymorphonuclear granulocytes, blastocysts, and osteoclasts. CD51 has reportedly been found to be undetectable on mouse platelets using either antibody clones H9.2B8 or RMV-7. CD51 also forms heterodimers with CD29 (integrin β1), integrins β5, β6, and β8 chains. αV integrins have diverse functions in development and homeostasis. The rat anti-mouse (clone RMV-7) mAb has been reported to block LAK-cell binding to vitronectin, fibronectin, fibrinogen, and CD31. Furthermore, the RMV-7 clone reportedly inhibits LAK-cell cytoxicity against certain target cells by interfering with the binding of LAK cells to their target cells. This antibody is routinely tested by flow cytometric analysis. Other applications were tested during antibody development only or reported in the literature. Expression of CD51 on mouse bone marrow myeloid cells. C57BL/6 bone marrow leukocytes were stained with either purified rat IgG1κ isotype control mAb R3-34 (Cat. No. 553922, left panel) or purified rat anti-mouse CD51 (clone RMV-7) (right panel), followed by PE-conjugated goat anti-rat Ig (Cat. No. 550767, both panels). Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACScan™ instrument . Please note that the population of cells having the lowest SSC (erythroid and lymphoid) show little expression of CD51, while cells with moderate-to-high SSC (myeloid cells) are almost uniformly CD51 positive (right panel).
