This antibody is specific for the extracellular domain of the PDGF receptor beta subunit. This was confirmed in binding studies using several different cell lines and by its ability to immunoprecipitate PDGF receptor beta complexed with 125I-PDGF-BB. This antibody does not recognize PDGF receptor alpha. Binding of PDGF-BB induces receptor homodimerization or heterodimerization with PDGF receptor alpha.
