Cell suspension containing osteoclasts from osteoclastomas
CD51/CD61 (integrin alpha5beta3), also known as osteoclast functional antigen, serves as a vitronectin receptor, and binds also to fibronectin, fibrinogen, thrombospondin, osteopontin, collagen, and von Willebrand factor. Expression of this antigen increases with melanoma progression. In healthy individuals CD51/CD61 is expressed mainly on osteoclasts, placenta, and endothelial cells, at lower levels on platelets and macrophages. Applications: Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry.
