Anti-CD14 (CD14 Antigen, Lipopolysaccharide Receptor, LPSR, Monocyte Differentiation Antigen 14, Mye

CD14 acts as a receptor for the potent bacterial endotoxin, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), facilitated by LPS-binding protein (LBP). The binding of LPS to CD14 results in cell activation and the release of cytokines and the inflammatory response, and has been shown to upregulate the cell surface expression of adhesion molecules.
