Purified Anti-human CD11c Antibody *3.9*

3.9 is an anti-human monoclonal antibody that forms an immune complex with the CD11c antigen. CD11c (sometimes called CR4 or ITGAX) is a 145 - 150 kD single-pass type I membrane protein that is expressed on the surface of cells such as macrophages, B cells and dendritic cells. In some organisms, CD11c promotes angiogenesis, positively regulates myelination and is a promoter of endothelial tube morphogenesis. Moreover, it is a component of essential cellular pathways, in particular, the cytokine-mediated signaling pathway and integrin-mediated signaling pathway. From a research standpoint, it is of biological interest due to its association with vital macromolecules/ligands like ICAM-1 and 4 and fibrinogen. CD11c is a very popular antibody target, with over 26000 publications in the last decade. CD11c has been widely used in costimulatory molecules research, commonly serving as a phenotypic marker for differentiating cell types in flow cytometric applications. This antibody was purified through affinity chromatography.
