Quick Overview for Integrin beta 2 antibody (Activation Site) (ABIN111902)

Target: Integrin beta 2 (ITGB2)

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This Integrin beta 2 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS), Western Blotting (WB), Immunoprecipitation (IP), Functional Studies (Func)

Clone: MEM-148

Product Details anti-Integrin beta 2 Antibody

Binding Specificity: Activation Site

Specificity: The antibody recognizes the epitope exposed on free human CD18 chains unassociated with CD11 as well as on high-affinity state of LFA-1. CD18 (integrin b2 subunit, b2 integrin) is a 90-95 kDa type I transmembrane protein expressed on all leukocytes.

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Species reactivity (tested):Human. Negative with Porcine.

Purification: Protein A Affinity Chromatography

Immunogen: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

Isotype: IgG1

Application Details

Application Notes: Flow Cytometry: The antibody is excellent marker of activated myeloid cells. Immunoprecipitation. Western Blotting (Non Reducing Conditions). Functional Application: The antibody induces homotypic cell aggregation and high-affinityLFA-1 conformation in resting leukocytes.
Other applications not tested.
Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Target Details for Integrin beta 2

Target: Integrin beta 2 (ITGB2)

Alternative Name: CD18 / ITGB2

Background: CD18, integrin b2 subunit, forms heterodimers with four types of CD11 Molecule to constitute leukocyte (b2) integrins: aLb2 (CD11a/CD18, LFA-1), aMb2 (CD11b/CD18, Mac-1, CR3), aXb2 (CD11c/CD18) and aDb2 (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
