This product was clustered at the Fourth International Workshop on Leucocyte Differentiation Antigen (code number N221) as recognising the CD18 antigen.
The CD18 antigen is an integral membrane glycoprotein of 95kD molecular weight - known as the beta chain, of the LFA-1 complex. The CD18 antigen is non-covalently linked to CD11a, b, c molecules.
The main cellular reactivity of antibody YFC 118.3 is a strong reactivity with Leucocytes (platelets negative).
The CD18 molecule is the receptor for ICAM-1 and is thus important for cell adhesion.
Store at +4 °C or at -20 °C if preferred.
This product should be stored undiluted.
Storage in frost free freezers is not recommended. This product is photosensitive and should be protected from light.
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.
