Cluster of differentiation 11b (CD11b), also known as integrin subunit α M (ITGAM), is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 16p11.2. The encoded protein belongs to the integrin α chain family. CD11b is expressed by a variety of myeloid cell types, such as dendritic cells, macrophages, monocytes and neutrophils.
The rat monoclonal antibody M1/70 detects CD11b (integrin alphaM subunit), a type I transmembrane protein mainly expressed on monocytes/macrophages, granulocytes and NK-cells, which associates with CD18 to form Mac-1 integrin that plays important role in cell-cell interactions.
Immunogen
B10 mouse spleen cells enriched for T cells
Application
The reagent is designed for Flow Cytometry analysis. Suggested working dilution for Flow Cytometry is 1 μg/mL of sample. Indicated dilution is recommended starting point for use of this product. Working concentrations should be determined by the investigator.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cluster of differentiation 11b (CD11b) acts as a receptor for complement component C3 degradation product, iC3b. CD11b interacts with β2 chain (ITGB2) to form a leukocyte integrin (MAC-1 or complement receptor 3 (CR3)), which in turn plays a crucial role in adherence of neutrophils and monocytes to stimulated endothelium. Mutation in the gene increases the risk of susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (AIDP).
