Protein Name & Synonyms:
CD14
Applications:
ELISA (dilution: 1, 3ug/ml), Western Blotting
Concentration (lot specific):
IgG concentration 0.5mg/ml
Preparation:
Antisera to CD14 were raised by repeated immunisations of goat with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG prepared by affinity chromatography using the immunizing peptide, reactivity with the carrier protein was removed during purification.
Species Reactivity:
Human
This product detects a band of approximately 55kD in human lung, lymph node and tonsil lysates.
This product detects an epitope within the internal region of CD14, a 55kD receptor for endotoxin and other bacterial cell wall components. Upon binding of various ligands, CD14 acts as a multiligand pattern recognition receptor, inducing specific coassembly of additional receptors, including MD-2 and TLR4 as part of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) receptor.
The LPS receptor is expressed strongly on the surface of monocytes and weakly on the surface of granulocytes, and is also expressed by most tissue macrophages. Activation of the LPS receptor leads to NF-kappa-B activation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response. CD14 also up-regulates cell surface molecules, including adhesion molecules, and has been shown to bind apoptotic cells.
Store at +4 °C or at -20 °C if preferred.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended.
This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
If stored in this manner, this product is stable for 18 months after receipt.
