Clone Number: 68-5A5
Immunogen: human PBLs
Concentration: 100 ug/ml
Storage buffer: PBS with 0.02% sodium azide
Additional info: It recognizes a transmembrane glycoprotein of 95 kDa, identified as CD18 or intergrin-2 (Workshop III). It complexes non-covalently with either L, M, or X integrin (CD11a, b, or c) to form the heterodimers. LFA-1, MAC-1, and p150,95, respectively. LFA-1 is the receptor for three members of the Ig supergene family of proteins, ICAM-1 (CD54, ICCAM-2 (CD102), and Mac-1 and p150,95 bind to ICAM-1, fibrinogen, and IC3b. ICAM-3 (CD50). CD18/CD11 heterodimeric molecules are involved with cell/cell and cell/extracellular adhesion in immune and inflammatory responses. This Mab blocks these cellular interactions. 68-5A5 was clustered at the IIIrd International Workshop on human leucocyte differentiation antigens.
