Protocol
Available protocols: Flow Cytometry (Live)
Specificity / Sensitivity
CD11c (N418) Hamster Monoclonal Antibody (APC Conjugate) recognizes endogenous levels of total CD11c protein. This antibody conjugate detects an epitope within the extracellular domain.
Species Reactivity: Mouse
Source / Purification
This monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant via affinity chromatography. The purified antibody was conjugated under optimal conditions, with unreacted dye removed from the preparation.
Background
CD11c (integrin αX, ITGAX) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that forms an α/β heterodimer with CD18 (integrin β2), which interacts with a variety of extracellular matrix molecules and cell surface proteins (1). CD11c is primarily used as a dendritic cell marker. Dendritic cells can be classified into two major types: CD11c+ conventional dendritic cells that specialize in antigen presentation, and CD11c- plasmacytoid dendritic cells that specialize in type I interferon production (2, 3). CD11c expression has also been observed on activated NK cells, subsets of B cells, monocytes, granulocytes, and some B cell malignancies including hairy cell leukemia (4-7). The N418 antibody is widely used as a marker for CD11c expression on the cell types mentioned above (8,9).
