Purified Anti-human CD11b Antibody *HI11b*

HI11b is an anti-human monoclonal antibody that recognizes the CD11b antigen. CD11b (sometimes referred to as Integrin αM chain, C3biR, CR3A or CR3) is a 165 - 170 kD glycoprotein that is expressed on the surface of cells such as B cells, granulocytes, NK cells, macrophages and dendritic cells. CD11b is involved with important cellular pathways, in particular, the cytokine-mediated signaling pathway, toll-like receptor 4 signaling pathway and apoptotic signaling pathway. Additionally, in many organisms, it is a promoter of superoxide anion generation, positively regulates microglial cell mediated cytotoxicity and is a positive regulator of prostaglandin-E synthase activity. CD11b has been associated with critical biological processes like cell adhesion, specifically cell-cell adhesion via plasma-membrane adhesion molecules, and is associated with a variety of biologically interesting macromolecules/ligands, for example, Factor X, iC3b and ICAM-1. CD11b is a very popular antibody target, with over 45000 publications in the last decade. CD11b has been widely used in innate immunity, neuroscience cell markers and cell biology research, often serving as a phenotypic marker for differentiating cell types in flow cytometric applications. This antibody was purified through affinity chromatography.
