Technical datasheet
Description
CD11b is an alpha chain integrin that is expressed as heterodimer noncovalently associated with CD18. CD11b is also designated as CR3, Mac-1, Mo-1 in integrin alphaM subunit and has a molecular weight of 165-170 kDa. The protein mediates PMN and monocytes adherence to endothelium and subsequently PMN extravasation to sites of inflammation.
CD11b/CD18 interacts with both matrix and cell surface proteins including the complement component iC3b, extracellular matrix proteins and the third extracellular domain of CD54. CD11b is expressed on human NK-cells, monocytes, granulocytes, T-cells, B-cells and dendritic cells. After activation the expression is upregulated.
Bear-1 reacts with the CD11b alpha chain of the CD11b/CD18 (p165, 95) integrin heterodimer complex.
Formulation
1 ml (100 µg/ml) 0.2 µm filtered antibody solution in PBS, containing 0.02% sodium azide and 0.1% bovine serum albumin.
Species
Mouse IgG1
Application
The antibody can be used for flow cytometry, immunohistology on frozen sections and immuno precipitation. The antibody is not useful for immunohistology on paraffin sections.
Use
For immunohistology and flow cytometry dilutions to be used depend on detection system applied. It is recommended that users test the reagent and determine their own optimal dilutions. The typical starting working dilution is 1:10.
Aliases
CR3, Mac-1, Mo-1 in integrin alphaM
