Mouse anti Human CD14:Low Endotoxin

Description:

Mouse anti human CD14 antibody, clone TÜK4 recognizes the human CD14 cell surface antigen. CD14 is a ~55 kDa glycoprotein that contains multiple leucine-rich repeats. It is anchored to the cell membrane via a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) linkage, a soluble form of CD14 also exists.

CD14 is strongly expressed on the surface of monocytes and macrophages but has also been shown to be expressed on the surface of non-myeloid cells. CD14 functions as a pattern recognition receptor in innate immunity for a variety of ligands, in particular for the LPS (endotoxin) of Gram-negative bacteria.

Mouse anti human CD14 antibody, clone TÜK4 has been shown to block SDF-induced chemotaxis of U937 cells in a dose –dependent manner. Use of the anti-human CD14 antibody, low endotoxin format is recommended for this purpose.
