Analysis of anti-integrin 𝛽 1 antibodies. (a) Test of antibodies for immunoprecipitation. 0.5 mg Jurkat cell lysate was incubated with 1  𝜇 g of the indicated antibody and affinity purification was performed. Precipitations were analyzed by JB1A immunoblot (anti-mouse HRP). Two integrin 𝛽 1 chains were detected in all immunoprecipitations. The heavy (HC) and light chains (LC) of the antibodies are indicated. (b) Amino acid sequence of the extracellular domain of human integrin 𝛽 1 . Known continuous epitopes are indicated. Underlined amino acids are known to become formaldehyde modified first. (c) Model of the extracellular part of human integrin 𝛽 1 , based on the crystal structure of Integrin 𝛽 3 (Swiss Model). Indicated are the same epitopes as in (b).
