Storage Conditions

Anti-CD11a In Vivo Antibody - Low Endotoxin (38) is stable for at least one week when stored sterile at 2-8°C. For long term storage aseptically aliquot in working volumes without diluting and store at –80°C. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles.

Specificity

Anti-CD11a In Vivo Antibody - Low Endotoxin (38) recognizes Human CD11a. Anti-Human CD11a (Anti-LFA-1a) recognizes the (Mr 175 kDa) a chain of the leukocyte function associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) . The leukocyte integrin LFA-1 is a member of a family of heterodimeric receptors that mediate divalent cation-dependent cellular adhesion reactions. LFA-1A binds to domain 1 of an intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM) on target tissues.

Formulation

0.01 M phosphate buffered saline (PBS) pH 7.2, 150 mM NaCl with no carrier protein, potassium or preservatives added.

Antigen Distribution

The CD11a antigen is present on most leukocytes and plays a vital role in cellular immune responses which require adhesion. Lymphocyte activation via the T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) up-regulates LFA-1 function. The absence of LFA-1A or B may induce the disease state known as leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) . Tumor cells which do not express LFA-1 may have avoided cellular immune-responses such as those carried out by natural killer cells (NK) .
