CD11c Antibody / ITGAX

ELISA: 2-4ug/ml (order BSA/azide-free format)

Optimal dilution of the CD11c antibody should be determined by the researcher.

Recognizes a protein of 145kDa, identified as CD11c. CD11c (ITGAX), a member of the leukointegrin family, shares the same beta subunit with other members of the leukocyte adhesion molecule family, which includes CD11a (LFA-1), CD11b (MAC-1) and CD11d (ITGAD), but has a unique alpha chain. CD11c has been shown to play a role in phagocytosis, cell migration, and cytokine production by monocytes/macrophages as well as induction of T-cell proliferation by Langerhans cells. CD11c is expressed prominently on the plasma membranes of monocytes, tissue macrophages, NK cells, and most dendritic cells (DCs). A lower level of expression is also observed on neutrophils as a result of its high level of expression on most DCs. An antibody to CD11c may aid in identification of lesions with histiocytic origin. It may also been used as a marker for hairy cell leukemia in paraffin-embedded tissues.

Purified

1 mg/ml in 1X PBS; BSA free, sodium azide free

A partial recombinant protein corresponding to amino acids 637-827 from human ITGAX/CD11c was used as the immunogen for the CD11c antibody.

This CD11c antibody is available for research use only.
