The antibody solution should be stored undiluted between 2°C and 8°C, and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.
Recommended Usage
For flow cytometric staining, it is recommended to use 5 uL of this reagent per 0.5-1.0 million cells in a 100 µL volume. Optimal reagent performance should be determined by titration for each specific application.
Excitation Laser
Blue Laser (488 nm)
Background Information
CD11c (Integrin αX, CR4, p150) is a ~150 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that pairs non-covalently with β2 integrin (CD18) to form the αXβ2 heterodimer. It is expressed mainly on dendritic cells, with additional expression on NK cells, subsets of intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes, monocytes/macrophages, granulocytes, and some activated T and B cells. CD11c/CD18 binds iC3b, fibrinogen, and CD54 (ICAM-1), mediating cell–cell adhesion, phagocytosis of opsonized particles, and immune cell trafficking.
