indirect ELISA: suitable indirect immunofluorescence: suitable using human cultured fibroblasts microarray: suitable western blot: 1:2,500 using a denatured and reduced preparation of purified human plasma vitronectin
Monoclonal Anti-Vitronectin (mouse IgM isotype) is derived from the VIT-2 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with purified human plasma vitronectin. Vitronectin is also referred as serum-spreading factor, S-protein of complement or epibolin. This monomeric acidic protein is one of the major multifunctional cell-adhesive glycoproteins in mammalian plasma and serum. This protein is usually seen as a mixture of 75 kDa and 65 kDa polypeptides. Human plasma and serum contain 0.1-0.4 mg/ml of vitronectin which is synthesized in the liver. It is also present in amniotic fluid and urine.
Specificity
By immunoblotting, the product shows no cross-reactivity with fibronectin, laminin, merosin, collagen type IV or chondroitin sulfate types A, B and C.
Immunogen
human plasma vitronectin
Application
Monoclonal Anti-Vitronectin antibody produced in mouse has been used in:
immunocytochemisry
western blotting
immunoprecipitation
immunofluorescence
enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
Biochem/physiol Actions
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.

Posthaemorrhagic ventricular dilatation (PHVD) is a common complication of intraventricular haemorrhage in premature infants. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of transforming growth factor-betas (TGF-betas), a family of polypeptides with potent desmoplastic properties, in the aetiology
