M1/70.15.11.5 recognizes the human, mouse, and non-human primate CD11b antigen. CD11b, also known as Mac-1 alpha or integrin alphaM chain, is part of the CD11b/CD18 heterodimer (Mac-1 alpha, Mbeta2 integrin), also known as the C3 complement receptor. It functions as a receptor for complement (C3bi), fibrinogen, or clotting factor X. In humans, CD11b is strongly expressed on myeloid cells and weakly expressed on NK cells and some activated lymphocytes as well as on microglia in the brain. In mice, the CD11b antigen is expressed on monocytes/macrophages and microglia. To a lower extent it is expressed on granulocytes, NK cells, CD5+ B-1 cells, and subsets of dendritic cells.
An antibody, specific receptor protein, ligand, nucleic acid sequence (e.g., primer, probe) or similar reagent, which through specific binding or chemical reaction with an intended target, is used to identify or quantify a chemical substance in a biological specimen for the development of a laboratory developed test (LDT) or commercial in vitro diagnostic medical device (IVD). Commonly referred to as an analyte specific reagent (ASR), it is neither labelled with instructions for use nor diagnostic or performance claims.
