Protocol Available protocols: Immunofluorescence (Frozen) Specificity / Sensitivity CD11b/ITGAM (M1/70) Rat Monoclonal Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total CD11b/ITGAM protein. This antibody detects an epitope within the extracellular domain. Species Reactivity: Mouse Source / Purification This monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant via affinity chromatography. Background Cluster of differentiation molecule 11b (CD11b)/Integrin alpha M (ITGAM) is a transmembrane protein forming heterodimers that are composed of α and β subunits (1). CD11b is expressed by, and commonly used as a marker for, myeloid lineage cells, including neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, and microglia (2). CD11b is phosphorylated at Ser1126 (cytoplasmic tail) in neutrophils. Research has shown that this phosphorylation event plays a role for leukocytes traveling from the bloodstream to tissues (3). Furthermore, genome-wide association studies have linked CD11b to autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (4).
