ANTI-VITRONECTIN

Uses

Monoclonal Anti-Vitronectin antibody produced in mouse has been used in:

• immunocytochemisry
• western blotting
• immunoprecipitation
• immunofluorescence
• enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)

Biological Activity

Vitronectin binds to heparin, collagen, streptococci and variety of cultured cells. It also acts as an inhibitor of the complement cascade by binding to the C5b-9 complex. Vitronectin protects thrombin from inactivation by antithrombin III in the presence of heparin, binds and stabilizes the activity of plasminogen activator inhibitor and mediates many other physiological functions.
