Product details:
Human CD66b ELISA kit (ab282869) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Human CD66b protein in human serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatant samples. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate CD66b with 3.93 pg/mL sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.
CD66b is a cell surface glycoprotein involved in cell adhesion, cell migration and pathogen binding. It is a member of the CEA superfamily of immunoglobulins. CD66b is exclusively expressed on granulocytes. Soluble CD66b is released in response to bacterial DNA.

CD66b also known as carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 8 (CEACAM8) is a glycoprotein with a molecular weight around 95 kDa. It is primarily expressed on the surface of granulocytes specifically on neutrophils—its expression on these cells makes it a useful marker in distinguishing stages of granulocyte maturation. The protein localizes to the cell membrane and serves as a cell adhesion molecule playing roles in intercellular interactions. Researchers often use CD66b-specific antibodies such as CD66b FITC for detecting and analyzing neutrophil populations commonly in flow cytometry applications.
Biological function summary
CD66b contributes to immune responses by facilitating leukocyte activation and migration during inflammation. It does not form part of a multi-protein complex but interacts with other cellular components. CD66b promotes neutrophil adhesion and transmigration to sites of infection or injury supporting their role in innate immunity. Additionally it participates in signaling pathways that influence cell survival proliferation and apoptosis in response to environmental cues.
Pathways
CD66b operates within neutrophil-related processes like the immune response and cell adhesion pathways. In the immune response pathway it collaborates with integrins to assist neutrophil extravasation through the endothelium. During inflammatory responses CD66b interaction with integrins and other adhesion molecules influences the intensity and duration of activity at inflammation sites. This interaction highlights its involvement with proteins such as ICAM-1 in mediating firm adhesion necessary for neutrophil migration.
CD66b levels and activity correlate with conditions involving inflammation such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and rheumatoid arthritis. During COPD the altered expression and regulation of CD66b contribute to neutrophil-driven inflammation exacerbating disease symptoms. Similarly rheumatoid arthritis involves inflammatory pathways where aberrant CD66b activity enhances synovial inflammation often linked with other inflammatory markers like TNF-alpha. Understanding CD66b's role in such diseases aids the development of therapeutic strategies targeting neutrophil-mediated pathology.
