CD11a is a 160-170 kD glycoprotein also known as αL integrin, or LFA-1 α chain. It is a member of the integrin family and forms a heterodimer with β2 integrin (CD18). The LFA-1 (CD11a/CD18) is broadly expressed on leukocytes and mediates intercellular adhesion and cellular activation. CD54 (ICAM-1), CD102 (ICAM-2), and CD50 (ICAM-3) are the ligands of LFA-1.
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For flow cytometric staining, the suggested use of this reagent is ≤0.25 µg per million cells in 100 µl volume. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
