Anti-CD14 (human), Unconjugated Clone B-A8 [Mouse]

Specificity: Recognises the lipopolysaccharide receptor (LPS R), a 55 kDa protein, Format: Phosphate-buffered saline with 1 % BSA and 0.09 % sodium azide, Working Dilution: Use 10 µl to label 106 cells or 100 µl of whole blood, Storage: Stable at +2-8°C for 12 months. For longer storage freeze aliquots, Application Notes: Suitable for Flow Cytometry Protein function: Coreceptor for bacterial lipopolysaccharide (PubMed:1698311, PubMed:23264655). In concert with LBP, binds to monomeric lipopolysaccharide and delivers it to the LY96/TLR4 complex, thereby mediating the innate immune response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (PubMed:20133493, PubMed:23264655). Acts via MyD88, TIRAP and TRAF6, leading to NF-kappa-B activation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response (PubMed:8612135). Acts as a coreceptor for TLR2:TLR6 heterodimer in response to diacylated lipopeptides and for TLR2:TLR1 heterodimer in response to triacylated lipopeptides, these clusters trigger signaling from the cell surface and subsequently are targeted to the Golgi in a lipid-raft dependent pathway (PubMed:16880211). Binds electronegative LDL (LDL(-)) and mediates the cytokine release induced by LDL(-) (PubMed:23880187). [The UniProt Consortium]
