Mouse Anti-Human CD61 (Clone F11) recognizes Human CD61. This monoclonal antibody was purified using multi-step affinity chromatography methods such as Protein A or G depending on the species and isotype. Anti-CD61 recognizes the (Mr 110 kDa) common ß-subunit of the gp IIb/IIIa complex and the vitronectin receptor (VNR). The gp IIb (CD41) antigen and the gp IIIa (CD61) antigen form the cell adhesion complex (gp IIb/IIIa) which is the receptor on platelets for fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor, fibronectin and vitronectin.

The CD61 antigen is present on virtually all resting and activated platelets. The antigen is also known to be present on endothelial cells, megakaryocytes and some leukemias of myeloid, erythroid and lymphoid origin.

Anti-CD61 may be used to identify platelets and megakaryocytes. It may also be used in studies to characterize leukemias and in research of cell adhesion molecules.
