Additional info: CD11b (integrin alphaM subunit) is a 165-170 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that non-covalently associates with integrin beta2 subunit (CD18); expression of the CD11b chain on the cell surface requires the presence of the CD18 antigen. CD11b/CD18 integrin (Mac-1, CR3) is highly expressed on NK cells, neutrophils, monocytes and less on macrophages. CD11b/CD18 integrin is implicated in various adhesive interactions of monocytes, macrophages and granulocytes, facilitating their diapedesis, as well as it mediates the uptake of complement coated particles, serving as a receptor for the iC3b fragment of the third complement component.SpecificityThe antibody BU15 reacts with an extracellular epitope of CD11c (alphaX, p150), a 150 kDa integrin expressed mainly on dendritic cells and tissue macrophages.Application detailsFlow cytometry: Recommended dilution: 1 μg/ml; positive control: peripheral blood lymphocytes.
Immunoprecipitation: Positive control: granulocytes, CD11b/CD18 transfectants.
Immunoprecipitation with the antibody MEM-174 was successfuly performed using immuno-affinity sorbents (minicolumns). The final immunosorbent should contain 1-5 mg of antibody/1 ml of sorbent gel (e.g. agarose beads). It is recommended to stimulate positive control material by LPS 1-2 days before to achieve better expression of target antigen.
