| Background Information | CD18 (integrin β2 subunit) forms heterodimers with four types of CD11 molecule to constitute leukocyte (β2) integrins: αLβ2 (CD11a/CD18, LFA-1), αMβ2 (CD11b/CD18, Mac-1, CR3), αXβ2 (CD11c/CD18) and αDβ2 (CD11d/CD18). In most cases, the response mediated by the integrin is a composite of the functions of its individual subunits. These integrins are essential for proper leukocyte migration, mediating intercellular contacts. |
| Storage Buffer | The reagent is provided in azide-free phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution, pH ≈7.4; 0.2 µm filter sterilized. Endotoxin level is less than 0.01 EU/µg of the protein, as determined by the LAL test. |
| Storage | Avoid prolonged exposure to light. Store in the dark at 2-8°C. Do not freeze. |
| Stability | Do not use after expiration date stamped on vial label. |
