CD14 (cluster of differentiation 14) is a myelomonocytic differentiation antigen, encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 5q23-31. It is mainly expressed by monocytes, macrophages and activated granulocytes.
Immunogen
A crude mixture of human urinary proteins precipitated by ammonium sulphate from the urine of a patient suffering from proteinuria
Application
The reagent is designed for Flow Cytometry analysis of human blood cells using 20 μL reagent / 100 μL of whole blood or 1e6 cells in a suspension. The content of a vial (2 mL) is sufficient for 100 tests.
Biochem/physiol Actions
CD14 (cluster of differentiation 14) serves as an important receptor of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). CD14 and LPs complex interacts with toll-like receptor 4 and enhances the expression of inflammatory mediators, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)- and interleukin (IL)-1, via p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and nuclear factor-B pathway. Mutation in the gene is associated with the development of myeloid leukemias and generalized chronic periodontitis (GCP).
