Additional info: CD18, integrin beta2 subunit, forms heterodimers with four types of CD11 molecule to constitute leukocyte (beta2) integrins: alphaLbeta2 (CD11a/CD18, LFA-1), alphaMbeta2 (CD11b/CD18, Mac-1, CR3), alphaXbeta2 (CD11c/CD18) and alphaDbeta2 (CD11d/CD18). In most cases, the response mediated by the integrin is a composite of the functions of its individual subunits. These integrins are essential for proper leukocyte migration, mediating intercellular contacts. Absence of CD18 leads to leukocyte adhesion deficiency-1; severe reduction of CD18 expression leads to the development of a psoriasiform skin disease. CD18 is also a target of Mannheimia (Pasteurella) haemolytica leukotoxin and is sufficient to mediate leukotoxin-mediated cytolysis.SpecificityThe mouse monoclonal antibody G28-8 recognizes an extracellular epitope of CD180, a 95-105 kDa TLR-like glycoprotein expressed on peripheral blood monocytes and dendritic cells, mantle zone B cells and marginal zone B cells, but very weakly on germinal center B cells.Application detailsWestern blotting: Recommended dilution: 2 μg/ml; positive control: Kg-1a human leukemia cell lysate, non-reducing conditions.
