Specificity

As original characterized, clone AL-4 reacts with EHS mouse laminin, A chain (laminin α1). The epitope is mapped to the carboxy terminal globular domain on the A chain. Recent work by Scheele et al (2006) has further demonstrated that clone AL-4, under reducing conditions, recognized both the 200 kDa β1/γ1 band and the 400 kDa α1 band of mouse EHS laminin. However the affinity for the 400 kDa band was very low. AL-4 also demonstrated strong binding the Laminin β1. By ELISA the epitope for the AL-4 seemed to be located on the Laminin β1 chain, however the clone also recognizes the laminin α1 chain in immunoblots, thus AL-4 seems to show mixed cross reactivity to laminins α1 and β1, with the β1 reactivity being more prominent.

Immunogen
