Abstract

The cDNA encoding a novel beta integrin subunit, called the beta-8 integrin subunit, has been isolated from rabbit and human tissue and sequenced. Provided herein is nucleic acid sequence of the beta-8 integrin subunit useful as a diagnostic and in the recombinant preparation of beta-8 integrin subunit and alpha-beta integrin complexes. The beta-8 integrin subunit is used in the preparation and purification of antibodies thereto, and in diagnostic assays.
