ITGAM, also known as CD11b or integrin alpha-M, forms the alpha subunit of the Mac-1 integrin complex (CD11b/CD18), a critical adhesion receptor expressed predominantly on myeloid cells including monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, and microglia. This integrin plays essential roles in leukocyte adhesion, migration, and phagocytosis, while also serving as complement receptor 3 (CR3) for recognizing iC3b-opsonized pathogens. Given its central involvement in innate immunity and inflammatory responses, ITGAM has become an indispensable marker for studying myeloid cell biology, neuroinflammation, and immune cell trafficking in both physiological and pathological contexts.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 6E4, offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding research workflows require. Generated against a synthetic peptide derived from human ITGAM and produced using recombinant technology in rabbit host, this antibody provides sequence-defined specificity that eliminates the lot-to-lot variability often encountered with traditional hybridoma-derived reagents. The result is reliable performance across extended studies and multi-site collaborations.
Validation in Western blot applications demonstrates robust detection of ITGAM at the expected molecular weight of 127 kDa in A549 whole cell lysate, with recommended working dilutions of 1:500 to 1:2000 providing flexibility to optimize signal intensity for your specific experimental conditions. The antibody is also validated for ELISA applications, expanding its utility across different detection platforms.
Supplied in a glycerol-containing buffer for stability, this unconjugated antibody is well-suited for researchers investigating myeloid cell differentiation, inflammatory disease mechanisms, tumor microenvironment characterization, and complement-mediated immune responses where precise ITGAM detection is fundamental to experimental success.
