Mouse anti Sheep CD14: VPM66

Description:

Mouse anti sheep CD14 monoclonal antibody, clone VPM66 recognises ovine CD14, a GPI-anchored ~55 kDa membrane glycoprotein and monocyte/macrophage differentiation antigen, belonging to the lipopolysaccharide receptor family. Ovine CD14 is expressed by monocytes, macrophages and peripheral blood granulocytes.

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

Clone VPM66 has been shown to recognise CD14 in other domestic ruminant species including water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) and domestic cattle. In addition to clone VPM66, clones VPM65 and VPM67 are also available.
