This Integrin beta 2 antibody is conjugated to APC
Application
Flow Cytometry (FACS)
Specificity
The antibody MEM-148 recognizes the epitope exposed on free human CD18 chains unassociated with CD11 as well as on high-affinity state of LFA-1. CD18 (integrin β2 subunit, β2 integrin) is a 90-95 kDa type I transmembrane protein expressed on all leukocytes.

CD18, integrin β2 subunit, forms heterodimers with four types of CD11 Molecule to constitute leukocyte (β2) integrins: αLβ2 (CD11a/CD18, LFA-1), αMβ2 (CD11b/CD18, Mac-1, CR3), αXβ2 (CD11c/CD18) and αDβ2 (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.Synonyms: 95 subunit beta, Cell surface adhesion glycoproteins LFA-1/CR3/p150, Complement receptor C3 subunit beta, Integrin beta-2, MFI7
