Quick Overview for Integrin beta 2 antibody (Activation Site) (APC) (ABIN238446)

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)

Clone: MEM-148

Product Details anti-Integrin beta 2 Antibody (APC)

Binding Specificity: Activation Site

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.

Purification: Size-exclusion chromatography.

Immunogen: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

Isotype: IgG1

Application Details

Application Notes: Suitable for Flow Cytometry analysis of human blood cells using 20 μL reagent / 100 μL ofwhole blood or 10^6 cells in a suspension. The content of a vial (2 ml) is sufficient for 100 tests.
Other applications not tested.
Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Buffer: PBS containing 15 mM sodium azide as preservative and 0.2 % (w/v) high-grade BSA (Protease free) as stabilizer.

Target Details for Integrin beta 2

Target: Integrin beta 2 (ITGB2)

Alternative Name: CD18 / ITGB2

Background: 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
