The Purified Anti-Mouse CD115 Antibody (AFS98) offered by AssayGenie is a highly specific research tool designed for the detection and analysis of the CD115 protein in mouse samples. CD115, also known as CSF-1 receptor, plays a fundamental role in the regulation of myeloid cell development and function.This polyclonal antibody is produced using advanced purification techniques and is raised against mouse samples, ensuring high specificity and sensitivity in experiments. It has been extensively validated for use in various applications, including immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, and immunoprecipitation.
Researchers studying the immune system, inflammation, hematopoiesis, or cancer biology will find this antibody particularly useful in elucidating the functions of CD115 in physiological and pathological conditions. Its ability to selectively target CD115 allows for precise detection and characterization of this important protein, making it an indispensable tool for cutting-edge research in immunology and related fields.
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by flow cytometric analysis. For flow cytometric staining, the suggested use of this reagent is ≤ 2.0 µg per 106 cells in 100 µL volume or 100 µL of whole blood. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.

Background:
CSF-1R, also known as CD115 and M-CSFR, is a single-pass type I membrane protein and member of the platelet-derived growth factor receptor family. This c-fms (Fms proto-oncogene) gene product's natural ligands include M-CSF and IL-34. Structural studies of CD115 have described an Ig-like extracellular domain, a transmembrane domain, an intracellular juxtamembrane domain, a split tyrosine kinase domain, and a C-terminal tail receptor. Receptor activation induces homodimerization in addition to phosphorylation and ubiquitination of intracellular residues. CD115 directly influences tissue macrophage and osteoclast differentiation and proliferation. It is expressed on monocytes/macrophages, peritoneal exudate cells, plasmacytoid and conventional dendritic cells, and osteoclasts.
