Overview
CD11b (integrin alphaM subunit) is a 165-170 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that non-covalently associates with integrin beta2 subunit (CD18) ; expression of the CD11b chain on the cell surface requires the presence of the CD18 antigen. CD11b/CD18 integrin (Mac-1, CR3) is highly expressed on NK cells, neutrophils, monocytes and less on macrophages. CD11b/CD18 integrin is implicated in various adhesive interactions of monocytes, macrophages and granulocytes, facilitating their diapedesis, as well as it mediates the uptake of complement coated particles, serving as a receptor for the iC3b fragment of the third complement component.
Specificity:
The mouse monoclonal antibody CBRM1/5 recognizes an activation-dependent epitope on extracellular part of CD11b (Mac-1alpha), a 165-170 kDa type 1 transmembrane protein mainly expressed on monocytes, granulocytes and NK-cells. The antibody recognizes a subset of CD11b molecules on neutrophils and monocytes activated with chemoattractants or phorbol esters and it does not recognize CD11b on non-activated cells.
