Product details:
Human CD11b ELISA Kit (ab277412) is an
in-vitro
enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of Human CD11b in serum, plasma and cell culture supernatants.
This assay employs an antibody specific for Human CD11b coated on a 96-well plate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and Human CD11b present in a sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody. The wells are washed, and biotinylated anti-Human CD11b antibody is added. After washing away unbound biotinylated antibody, HRP-conjugated streptavidin is pipetted to the wells. The wells are again washed, a TMB substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of Human CD11b bound. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm.

CD11b also known as Integrin alpha M is a protein with a molecular weight of approximately 170 kDa. This protein functions mechanically as an important adhesion molecule. It forms a complex with CD18 to become part of leukocyte-specific beta2 integrins specifically the Mac-1 (CR3) receptor. CD11b is largely expressed on the surface of various myeloid cells including monocytes macrophages granulocytes and a subset of natural killer cells. Researchers often utilize anti-CD11b antibodies and other markers such as APC or CD11b IHC to study its expression in different contexts.
Biological function summary
CD11b plays a critical role in various immune responses by mediating phagocytosis chemotaxis and cell migration. It is essential for proper leukocyte adherence to endothelial cells and for the engulfment of pathogens or apoptotic cells. CD11b as part of the Mac-1 complex contributes to the immune surveillance and inflammatory processes. This complex interacts with diverse ligands like ICAM-1 fibrinogen and complement component iC3b facilitating an immunological response.
Pathways
CD11b is instrumental within the integrin signaling pathway and the Leukocyte Transendothelial Migration pathway. Its interaction with ICAM-1 is central to the leukocyte adhesion cascade influencing the movement of immune cells across endothelial barriers. CD11b also associates with proteins such as Src family kinases and PI3K which activate downstream signaling responsible for the reorganization of the cytoskeleton and cell movement during immune responses.
CD11b is linked to inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. Aberrant expression or function of CD11b can result in improper immune regulation contributing to the pathogenesis of these diseases. Its interaction with complement receptor iC3b plays a part in inflammation and tissue damage observed in these conditions. Consequently CD11b represents a potential target for therapeutic intervention in diseases where dysregulated immune activity is a feature.
