There is 1 publication for this product available. The Mouse Monoclonal anti-Integrin beta 2 antibody is suitable to detect Integrin beta 2 in samples from Human. It has been validated for FACS, WB, IP and Func.
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.

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
