Catalog No. ABIN111900

This anti-Integrin beta 2 antibody is a Mouse Monoclonal antibody detecting Integrin beta 2 in FACS. Suitable for Human.

Quick Overview for Integrin beta 2 antibody (Activation Site) (FITC) (ABIN111900)

Target: Integrin beta 2 (ITGB2)

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This Integrin beta 2 antibody is conjugated to FITC

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS)

Clone: MEM-148

Product Details anti-Integrin beta 2 Antibody (FITC)

Binding Specificity: Activation Site

Specificity: This antibody recognises an epitope on the CD18 Molecule that is hidden in the CD11/CD18 heterodimer on resting cells. Clone MEM-148 binds very weakly to resting peripheral blood leukocytes and strongly to all leukocytes upon cellular activation. The epitope recognised by MEM-148 is also exposed during dissociation of the CD11/CD18 by low pH .

Purification: Affinity chromatography on Protein G

Isotype: IgG1

Application Details

Application Notes: Flow cytometry.
Other applications not tested.
Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Concentration: 0.1 mg/mL

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

Handling Advice: Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. This product is photosensitive and should be protected from light.

Storage: 4 °C/-20 °C

Storage Comment: Store the antibody undiluted at 2-8 °C for one month or (in aliquots) at -20 °C for longer.

Target Details for Integrin beta 2

Target: Integrin beta 2 (ITGB2)

Alternative Name: CD18 / ITGB2

Background: CD18 is an integrin. Integrins are integral cell surface proteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain. A given chain may combine with multiple partners resulting in different integrins. For example, beta 2 combines with the alpha L chain to form the integrin LFA1, and combines with the alpha M chain to form the integrin Mac1. Integrins are known to participate in cell adhesion as well as cell surface mediated signalling. CD18 is expressed by most leucocytes. Defects in the CD18 gene result in leukocyte adhesion deficiency.Synonyms: 95 subunit beta, Cell surface adhesion glycoproteins LFA-1/CR3/p150, Complement receptor C3 subunit beta, Integrin beta-2, MFI7
