Integrin beta-2 (ITGB2), also known as CD18, serves as an essential component of leukocyte adhesion and immune cell function. This transmembrane glycoprotein forms heterodimers with various alpha subunits to create the LFA-1, Mac-1, and p150,95 integrin complexes, which mediate critical processes including leukocyte trafficking, complement receptor activity, and cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Mutations in ITGB2 are associated with leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD), underscoring its fundamental role in immune system integrity and making it a valuable target for immunology and signal transduction research.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody (clone 18D12) offers researchers the reproducibility and consistency that recombinant technology provides. Unlike traditional hybridoma-derived antibodies, this sequence-defined reagent ensures lot-to-lot uniformity, allowing you to generate comparable data across long-term studies without the variability that can complicate experimental interpretation. The antibody was raised against recombinant human ITGB2 protein and has been validated for human sample analysis.
Flow cytometry validation demonstrates clear performance with THP-1 cells, a human monocytic cell line that endogenously expresses ITGB2. Testing at 1:100 dilution showed distinct positive staining compared to isotype control, with recommended working dilutions ranging from 1:50 to 1:200 for flow cytometry applications. The antibody is also validated for ELISA, providing flexibility for researchers working across different experimental platforms.
Supplied in a glycerol-based PBS buffer with Proclin 300 preservative, this affinity-purified antibody is well-suited for investigators studying leukocyte biology, immune cell adhesion, complement receptor signaling, and stem cell research where integrin-mediated interactions play regulatory roles.
