ZooMAb^® antibodies represent an entirely new generation of recombinant monoclonal antibodies.Each ZooMAb^® antibody is manufactured using our proprietary recombinant expression system, purified to homogeneity, and precisely dispensed to produce robust and highly reproducible lot-to-lot consistency. Only top-performing clones are released for use by researchers. Each antibody is validated for high specificity and affinity across multiple applications, including its most commonly used application. ZooMAb^® antibodies are reliably available and ready to ship when you need them.

Clone 2K14 is a ZooMAb^® Rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects CD11b. It targets an epitope within 20 amino acids from the C-terminal, extracellular domain.

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 20 amino acids from the extracellular domain of human CD11b (Integrin alpha-M).

Integrin alpha-M (UniProt: P11215; also known as CD11 antigen-like family member B, CR-3 alpha chain, Cell surface glycoprotein MAC-1 subunit alpha, Leukocyte adhesion receptor MO1, Neutrophil adherence receptor, CD11b) is encoded by the ITGAM (also known as CD11B, CR3A) gene (Gene ID: 3684) in human. Integrins are /β heterodimeric adhesion receptors that couple the extracellular matrix on other cells with the contractile cytoskeleton to transduce mechanochemical signals across the plasma membrane. CD11b is a single-pass type I membrane glycoprotein that is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-16), which is subsequently cleaved off to generate the mature form that that contains a long extracellular domain (aa 17-1104), a transmembrane domain (aa 1105-1128), and a short cytoplasmic domain (aa 1129-1152). It is predominantly expressed in monocytes and granulocytes. It is usually found as a heterodimer of /β subunits and associates with Integrin β2 (ITGB2). CD11b/Integrin β2 has been implicated in various adhesive interactions of monocytes, macrophages, and granulocytes as well as in mediating the uptake of complement-coated particles and pathogens. The major ligand recognition site of CD11b/integrin β2 has been mapped to the A-domain in the CD11b subunit (CD11bA). CD11b/integrin β2 also serves as a receptor for fibrinogen, factor X and ICAM1. It recognizes P1 and P2 peptides of fibrinogen gamma chain. Mutations in ITGAM gene have been linked to increased susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus 6 (SLEB6), an autoimmune disease marked by a wide range of system dysfunctions. This ZooMAbZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.

300 μg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
