Product details:
PMID: 7868861. The antigen is temperature sensitive; we may recommend following the conditions as recommended in this publication. As per publication low temperature paraffin, using 0.5 to 2% paraformaldehyde fixation instead of 4% or using periodate-lysine-paraformaldehyde (PLP) + 0.25% PFA and 0.1% glutaraldehyde might be helpful in detection.

CD11b and CD11c also known as integrins αM and αX respectively are important proteins in the immune system. CD11b with a molecular mass of approximately 165 kDa and CD11c around 150 kDa form integrin complexes with CD18. These proteins are expressed on various immune cells including macrophages monocytes granulocytes and dendritic cells. Their expression can also be detected in a subset of B and T cells. The antibody against CD11b also termed OX-42 is often used in research to identify immune cells that express this surface protein.
Biological function summary
Integrins αM (CD11b) and αX (CD11c) facilitate key processes such as adhesion and migration of leukocytes. Both CD11b and CD11c pair with CD18 to form the Mac-1 (Macrophage-1 antigen also known as CR3) and p15095 complexes respectively. These complexes participate in both innate and adaptive immune responses by binding to various ligands like ICAM-1 and fibrinogen. CD11b/CD18 (Mac-1) additionally plays an essential role in phagocytosis degranulation and respiratory burst important activities for pathogen clearance.
Pathways
These integrins engage in critical signaling pathways including the NF-kappaB and MAPK pathways. They regulate the inflammatory response and cell survival. CD11b interacts closely with other proteins like ICAM-1 and C3b which are involved in these pathways. CD11c also contributes to similar pathways although it plays a more specialized role in dendritic cells impacting antigen presentation and immune regulation.
CD11b and CD11c have associations with conditions like autoimmune diseases and chronic inflammatory disorders. Both proteins show altered expression levels in diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. For instance in these diseases the Mac-1 complex (CD11b/CD18) frequently exhibits dysregulation affecting leukocyte adhesion and migration. The expression of CD11c is modified in certain leukemias and lymphomas where it correlates with disease progression and prognosis.
