BD, 554980, Purified Mouse Anti-Rat CD11b WT.5

The WT.5 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD11b, the α subunit of Mac-1 found on neutrophils and myeloid cells, but not on lymphocytes. Mac-1 expression is rapidly upregulated on neutrophils after activation, in the same time period that CD62L (L-selectin) is shed from the cell surface. Mac-1 mediates adhesion to ICAM-1 (CD54) and C3bi. Neutrophil binding to ICAM-1 is blocked by mAb WT.5.

The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. Store undiluted at 4°C.
1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
