CloneGi9
IsotypeIgG1 Mouse
Clone DescriptionThe Gi9 antibody reacts with the molecule carrying the Br(a) as well as the Br(b) alloantigen. This antibody inhibits the adhesion of platelets to collagen. It detects human alloantibodies (anti-Br a,b) against VLA-2 by MAIPA assay. Gi9 was used as a CD49b reference monoclonal antibody during the HLDA 6. Gi9 reacts with platelets and weakly with monocytes. It also stains most adherent cell lines and T lymphocytes in culture.
