The PE-Cyanine7 Anti-Mouse CD18 Antibody (M18/2) offered by AssayGenie (AGEL2745) is a powerful tool for researchers studying mouse immune responses and cell adhesion mechanisms. This antibody, specifically designed for flow cytometry applications, targets the CD18 protein which is crucial for leukocyte adhesion and transendothelial migration.Mouse CD18, also known as Integrin beta-2, plays a vital role in the immune system by facilitating cell-cell interactions and migration to sites of inflammation. The PE-Cyanine7 Anti-Mouse CD18 Antibody (M18/2) enables precise detection and analysis of CD18 expression on mouse cells, providing valuable insights into immune cell functions and inflammatory processes.
With its high specificity and sensitivity, this antibody is a valuable asset for immunologists, hematologists, and researchers studying immune cell trafficking, inflammation, and autoimmune diseases in mouse models. By targeting CD18, researchers can unravel the complexities of immune responses and develop targeted therapies for conditions where immune cell migration and adhesion play a critical role.
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by flow cytometric analysis. Please check your vial before the experiment. Since applications vary, the appropriate dilutions must be determined for individual use. We suggest each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results [The recommended concentration is 0.1-1 μg/106 cells in 100 μL volume].

Background:
CD18 is a 95 kD protein, also known as integrin β2 subunit. It is expressed on all leukocytes. CD18, in association with integrin α chain CD11a, CD11b, and CD11c forms LFA-1, Mac-1, and αXβ2, respectively, and plays an important role in leukocytes adhesion. The CD18 integrin complexes bind ICAM-1 (CD54), ICAM-2 (CD102), ICAM-3 (CD50), iC3b, and fibrinogen.
