Integrin beta 2 antibody (APC)

Catalog No. ABIN125714

Product Details anti-Integrin beta 2 Antibody (APC)

Target: Integrin beta 2 (ITGB2)

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This Integrin beta 2 antibody is conjugated to APC

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS)

Purpose: Anti-Hu CD18 APC

Specificity: The antibody MEM-148 recognizes an extracellular epitope on CD18 which is essentially inaccessible in intact integrin molecules on resting leukocytes, but is exposed on high-affinity state of LFA-1 or on unassociated CD18. CD18 (integrin beta2 subunit, beta2 integrin) is a 90-95 kDa type I transmembrane protein expressed on all leukocytes.

No Cross-Reactivity: Pig

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Human

Purification: Purified antibody is conjugated with activated allophycocyanin (APC) under optimum conditions and unconjugated antibody and free fluorochrome are removed by size-exclusion chromatography.

Immunogen: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells

Clone: MEM-148

Isotype: IgG1

Application Details

Application Notes: Flow cytometry: The reagent is designed for analysis of human blood cells using 10 μL reagent / 100 μL of whole blood or 10⁶ cells in a suspension. The content of a vial (1 ml) is sufficient for 100 tests.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Reconstitution: No reconstitution is necessary.

Buffer: Stabilizing phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.4, 15 mM sodium azide

Preservative: Sodium azide

Precaution of Use: This product contains Sodium azide: a POISONOUS AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE which should be handled by trained staff only.

Handling Advice: Do not freeze.
Avoid prolonged exposure to light.

Target Details for Integrin beta 2

Target: Integrin beta 2 (ITGB2)

Alternative Name: CD18 (ITGB2 Products)

Background: Integrin subunit beta 2,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.,Integrin beta2, Complement receptor C3 subunit beta, ITGB2
