Rabbit polyclonal antibody raised against recombinant CD14.
Immunogen:
Recombinant protein corresponding to human CD14.
Host:
Rabbit
Reactivity:
Human, Mouse
Specificity:
The antiserum represents a marker for human CD14. The CD14 glycoprotein, gp 55, is present on most monocytic and macrophages like cell types: monocytes, macrophages, Kupffer cells, pleural phagocytic cells and dendritic reticular cells. CD14 is also observed on granulocytes and activated or transformed B-cells. Furthermore CD14 is present in a soluble form in human serum, urine and other body fluids. The CD14 molecule has been reported to be a receptor for endotoxin.
Form:
Lyophilized
Recommend Usage:
Flow Cytometry (1:100-1:1000) The optimal working dilution should be determined by the end user.
Storage Buffer:
Lyophilized from PBS
Storage Instruction:
Store at -20°C on dry atmosphere. After reconstitution with deionized water, store at -20°C or lower. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
CD14 is a surface protein preferentially expressed on monocytes/macrophages. It binds lipopolysaccharide binding protein and recently has been shown to bind apoptotic cells. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same isoform. [provided by RefSeq
