MRP8 / MRP14 Mouse Monoclonal Antibody [Clone ID: MAC387]

Specifications

Product Data
Clone Name	MAC387
Applications	FC, IHC
Recommend Dilution	Flow Cytometry: Use 10 µl of 1/50-1/100 diluted antibody to label 1x106 cells in 100 µl (Membrane permeabilisation is required). Immunohistochemistry on Frozen Sections: 1/100-1/200.  Immunohistochemistry on Paraffin Embedded Sections: 1/100-1/200. This antibody requires protein digestion pre-treatment e.g. trypsin, 0.1% for 10 minutes or antigen retrieval using heat treatment prior to staining. Recommended Positive Control: Human Spleen Tissue.
Reactivity	Bovine, Canine, Equine, Feline, Guinea Pig, Human, Monkey, Porcine, Rabbit, Rat
Host	Mouse
Clonality	Monoclonal
Immunogen	Human Monocytes. Spleen cells from immunised BALB/c mice were fused with cells of the mouse NS1 myeloma cell line.
Specificity	This antibody recognizes the L1 or Calprotectin molecule, an intracytoplasmic antigen comprised of a 12kD alpha chain and a 14kD beta chain expressed by Granulocytes, Monocytes and by tissue Macrophages. Variable results have been reported for staining brain macrophages and microglia.
Formulation	PBS State: Aff - Purified State: Liquid purified IgG fraction Preservative: 0.09% Sodium Azide
Concentration	lot specific
Purification	Affinity Chromatography on Protein G
Conjugation	Unconjugated
Storage Condition	Store undiluted at 2-8°C for one month or (in aliquots) at -20°C for longer. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Background	Macrophages comprise of many forms of mononuclear phagocytes found in tissues. Mononuclear phagocytes arise from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. After passing through the monoblast and promonocyte states of the monocyte stage, they enter the blood, where they circulate for about 40 hours. They then enter tissues and increase in size, phagocytic activity, and lysosomal enzyme content becomming macrophages. Among the functions of macrophages are nonspecific phagocytosis and pinocytosis, specific phagocytosis of opsonized microorganisms mediated by Fc receptors and complement receptors, killing of ingested microorganisms, digestion and presentation of antigens to T and B lymphocytes, and secretion of a large number of diverse products, including many enzymes including lysozyme and collagenases, several complement components and coagulation factors, some prostaglandins and leukotrienes, and many regulatory molecules (Interferon, Interleukin 1). Among cells that are now recognised as macrophages are histiocytes, Kupffer cells, osteoclasts, microglial cells, synovial type A cells, interdigitating cells, and Langerhans cells (in normal tissues) and epithelioid cells and Langerhans-type and foreign-body-type multinucleated giant cells (in inflamed tissues).
