Antigen Background
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.
Immunogen
human monocytes.
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.
