Mouse anti Dog CD11d

Description:

Mouse anti dog CD11d antibody, clone CA11.8H2 recognizes the canine CD11d cell surface antigen, also known as integrin alpha d subunit. The alpha d integrin (CD11d) subunit is expressed as a heterodimer with beta 2 integrin (CD18). CD11d is expressed by a sub-population of macrophages, some CD8 positive T cells and by gamma/delta T cells in the splenic red pulp.

Over expression of CD11d is noted in histiocytic disorders including hemophagocytic sarcoma, described as a proliferative disorder specifically of CD11+ macrophages with macrophages demonstrating marked erythrocytic phagocytosis. Previously, canine histiocytic sarcoma were described as originating entirely from interstitial dendritic cells. Cells from animals with canine hepatosplenic T cell lymphoma (HTSL) strongly express CD11d on malignant cells. Dogs normally demonstrate strong positivity for CD11d on large granular lymphocytes, macrophages and T cells in the splenic red pulp. CD11+ γ/δ T cells constitute ~30% red pulp T cells despite their rarity in peripheral blood, suggesting a splenic red pulp origin of HTSL.
