Anti-CD11a, clone CRIS-3

1 mg/ml in sterile PBS, BSA free, sodium azide free. This antibody recognizes a protein of 180kDa, identified as CD11a. CD11a complexes with the beta 2 subunit of the integrin family, CD18, to form the cell surface heterodimer called LFA-1 or CD11a/CD18. LFA-1 is expressed on all leukocytes including lymphocytes, monocytes, and granulocytes. It is involved in leukocyte adhesion to its ligands including intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1 or CD54), ICAM-2 (CD102), ICAM-3 (CD50) and Telencephalin (TLN) and play a role in most immune/inflammatory responses. Protein function: Integrin alpha-L/beta-2 is a receptor for ICAM1, ICAM2, ICAM3 and ICAM4. It is involved in a variety of immune phenomena including leukocyte-endothelial cell interaction, cytotoxic T-cell mediated killing, and antibody dependent killing by granulocytes and monocytes.
