The M17/4 monoclonal antibody specifically reacts with mouse CD11a, a 180kDA glycoprotein.
Aufreinigung
The monoclonal antibody was purified utilizing affinity chromatography. The endotoxin level is determined by LAL test to be less than 0.01 EU/μg of the protein.
The M17/4 monoclonal antibody specifically reacts with mouse CD11a, a 180kDA glycoprotein. CD11a is the integrin alpha L chain that forms with CD18 the heterodimer molecule Lymphocyte Function-associated Antigen-1 (LFA-1). LFA-1 is expressed on all leukocytes and is involved in intercellular adhesions. The M17/4 antibody blocks many of the LFA-1 mediated cell interaction and in vivo it prolongs allograft survival, inhibits the autoimmune response, and reduces graft versus host reactions.
