The Fibronectin dimer consists of two disulfide linked monomers of approximately 220 kD, and is present in cells, extracellular matrix, and blood. It possesses at least four binding sites for collagen, glycosaminoglycans, transglutaminase, and a cell surface receptor. Fibronectin is involved in cell adhesion, tissue organization, and wound healing. It accumulates at the site of injury and, along with fibrin, forms a blood clot to stop bleeding and protect damaged tissue.

The HFN7.1 Fibronectin antibody is directed against the peptide core and reacts with both the plasma and cellular forms. The antibody blocks the fibronectin-mediated cell attachment not by disrupting the collagen-fibronectin interaction, but by interfering with the attachment of fibronectin to its receptor on the cell surface.

Flow Cytometry: 0.5-1 ug/million cells IF: 0.5-1 ug/ml IHC (FFPE): 0.5-1 ug/ml for 30 minutes at RT (1) Titration of the antibody may be required for optimal performance.

1. FFPE staining requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes.
