The antibody MEM-174 recognizes an extracellular epitope of CD11b antigen (Mac-1 alpha), a 165-170 kDa type I transmembrane protein mainly expressed on monocytes, granulocytes and NK-cells. The CD11b mediates neutrophil and monocyte interactions with stimulated endothelium.
Flow cytometry: Recommended dilution: 1 μg/mL, positive control: peripheral blood lymphocytes. Immunoprecipitation: Positive control: granulocytes, CD11b/CD18 transfectants. Immunoprecipitation with the antibody MEM-174 was successfuly performed using immuno-affinity sorbents (minicolumns). The final immunosorbent should contain 1-5 mg of antibody/1 mL of sorbent gel (e.g. agarose beads). It is recommended to stimulate positive control material by LPS 1-2 days before to achieve better expression of target antigen.

Integrin subunit alpha M,CD11b (integrin alphaM subunit) is a 165-170 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that non-covalently associates with integrin beta2 subunit (CD18), expression of the CD11b chain on the cell surface requires the presence of the CD18 antigen. CD11b/CD18 integrin (Mac-1, CR3) is highly expressed on NK cells, neutrophils, monocytes and less on macrophages. CD11b/CD18 integrin is implicated in various adhesive interactions of monocytes, macrophages and granulocytes, facilitating their diapedesis, as well as it mediates the uptake of complement coated particles, serving as a receptor for the iC3b fragment of the third complement component.,Mac-1, Integrin alpha M, ITGAM, CR3A, MO1A, MAC1A
