Monoclonal Anti-CD11b antibody produced in mouse

Description

• General description: CD11b is also known as Mac-1, CR3, MO-1 and C3bi receptor. It belongs to β 2 integrin family. The gene encodes the integrin α M chain. It is expressed on the surface of circulating monocytes, granulocytes, neutrophils, macrophages, dendritic cells and certain NK cells. It is present in subcellular granules in granulocytes and on subsets of macrophages.
• Specificity: Recognizes the CD11b α-chain of the human CD11b/CD18 complex. The antibody is useful for studies on cell adhesion and migration and for the detection of leukocyte adhesion deficiencies. It may be used to stain acetone-fixed cryostat sections or cell preparations. The epitope recognized by the antibody is formalin sensitive.2nd Workshop: code no. M1043rd Workshop: code no. 202 and 2384th Workshop: code no. M47
• Immunogen: human monocytes.
• Application: Monoclonal Anti-CD11b antibody produced in mouse has been used in immunostaining and flow cytometry.
• Biochem/physiol Actions: CD11b/CD18 acts as a receptor for C3bi, clotting factor X, fibrinogen and ICAM-1. It is involved in cell-cell and cell-substrate interactions. It plays a crucial role in several immunological processes as well including leukocyte extravasation and phagocytosis. It also plays an important role in certain coagulation protease cascade and in cell migration.
• Target description: CD11b α-chain of the human CD11b/CD18 complex is an α/β heterodimeric glycoprotein which belongs to the β2 integrin family. It is also known as Mac-1, CR3, MO-1 and C3bi receptor. CD11b is expressed on the surface of circulating monocytes, granulocytes and certain NK cells and is also present in subsets of macrophages. It functions as a receptor for iC3b, clotting factor X, fibrinogen and ICAM-1.
