Mouse anti Pig CD11c:FITC

Description:

Mouse anti pig CD11c, clone 3A8 recognizes CD11c also known as integrin alpha-X.
Porcine CD11c is mainly expressed by blood and skin polymorphonuclear and mononuclear phagocytes as well as monocytes, granulocytes and alveolar and inflammatory macrophages. Porcine CD11c is not expressed by plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC).

Mouse anti pig CD11c, clone 3A8 antibody can be used to distinguish resident from migrating dendritic cells (DC) in lymph nodes;migrated DC express lower levels of surface CD11c and have higher MHC class II expression than resident DC. Both porcine cDC1 and cDC2 subsets express CD11c, with cDC1 appearing to have slightly lower levels than cDC2. Clone 3A8 did not show species cross-reactivity with human CD11c-CD18 transfectants or sheep myeloid cells.
