Biosafety classification is based on U.S. Public Health Service Guidelines, it is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that their facilities comply with biosafety regulations for their own country.
Animals were immunized with the Peyer's patch HEV binding lymphoma line TK1.
Spleen cells were fused with P3X63Ag8.653 myeloma cells.
The antibody recognizes the alpha subunit of a 160000/130000 dalton cell surface heterodimer expressed on lymphocytes and lymphomas capable of binding to high endothelial venules (HEV) of murine Peyer's patch.
This subunit corresponds to the alpha subunit of the human VLA-4 integrin receptor, and the two are structurally closely related (if not identical).
