Clone:	UCHM-1
Protein:	CD14
Product Type:	Monoclonal Antibody
Synonyms:	P35
Isotype:	Mouse IgG2a
Reactivity:	Human
Applications:	FC, WB
Formulation:	This monoclonal antibody is aseptically packaged and formulated in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline (150 mM NaCl) PBS pH 7.2 - 7.4 with no carrier protein, potassium, calcium or preservatives added.
Endotoxin Level:	< 1.0 EU/mg as determined by the LAL method
Purity:	≥95% monomer by analytical SEC >95% by SDS Page
Preparation:	Functional grade preclinical antibodies are manufactured in an animal free facility using only In vitro protein free cell culture techniques and are purified by a multi-step process including the use of protein A or G to assure extremely low levels of endotoxins, leachable protein A or aggregates.
Storage and Handling:	Functional grade preclinical antibodies may be stored sterile as received at 2-8°C for up to one month. For longer term storage, aseptically aliquot in working volumes without diluting and store at -80°C. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles.

Applications:	FC, WB
Recommended Usage:	FC The suggested concentration for this UCHM-1 antibody for staining cells in flow cytometry is ≤ 1.0 µg per 10⁶ in a volume of 100 µl or 100µl of whole blood. Titration of the reagent is recommended for optimal performance for each application. WB The suggested concentration for this UCHM-1 antibody for use in western blotting is 1-10 µg/ml. Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications. See directions on lot specific datasheets, as information may periodically change.

CD14 is a 53-55 kD GPI-anchored single chain glycoprotein that plays a role in the clearance of gram-negative pathogens by interacting with other proteins, including TLR-4 and MD-2, to mediate the innate immune response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). As a high-affinity receptor for LPS, it is involved in the upregulation of adhesion molecules and cytokine expression in monocytes and neutrophils.
