The mouse monoclonal antibody S5/1 recognizes an extracellular epitope of CD88 protein, a 43 kDa receptor of C5a component of the complement cascade.
Purification
Purified antibody is conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) under optimum conditions and unconjugated antibody and free fluorochrome are removed by size-exclusion chromatography.
Immunogène
Recombinant N-terminal peptide (Asp15-Asp27) of human C5aR
Flow cytometry: The reagent is designed for analysis of human blood cells using 4 μL reagent / 100 μL of whole blood or 106 cells in a suspension. The content of a vial (0.4 ml) is sufficient for 100 tests.
Complement C5a receptor 1,CD88 / C5aR is a G protein-coupled seven membrane-spanning protein serving as a receptor for C5a component of the complement cascade, and is expressed mainly by monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, eosinophils, and mast cells, but also e.g. by hepatocytes, glial cells, vascular endothelial cells, or cardiomyocytes. The binding of C5a to CD88 is associated with inflammatory response, including superoxide anion production, chemotaxis, and increased production of acute phase proteins. Expression of CD88 on synovial mast cells and their C5a-mediated degranulation plays a role in pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis.,C5A, C5R1, C5AR1
