Rat anti Mouse CD11b:RPE-Cy5

Description:

Rat anti mouse CD11b antibody, clone M1/70.15 recognizes the murine CD11b cell surface antigen also known as the alpha M integrin chain or MAC-1, a differentiation antigen expressed by granulocytes, monocytes, NK cells and tissue macrophages.
The expression of CD11b increases during monocyte maturation and expression levels vary on tissue macrophages. Peritoneal macrophages are reported to express higher levels of CD11b than splenic macrophages.

Rat anti mouse CD11b antibody, clone M1/70.15 has been reported to block iC3b binding to its receptor.
Rat anti mouse CD11b antibody, clone M1/70.15 has been reported to as being suitable for use on PLP fixed paraffin embedded tissue but has not been tested for use on formalin fixed tissue.
This product is routinely tested in flow cytometry on mouse peritoneal macrophages.
