CD14 Monoclonal Antibody (TüK4), Qdot™ 605, Invitrogen™

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Supplier:  Invitrogen Q10013

Catalog No. 50-113-8142

Description

Qdot™ Antibody (Ab) conjugates possess a bright fluorescence emission that makes them well suited for the detection of low-abundance extracellular proteins. Approximately the same size as R-phycoerythrin (R-PE) and compatible with existing organic fluorophore conjugates, Qdot™ Ab conjugates can be excited with any wavelength below their emission maximum, but are best excited by UV or violet light. The narrow, symmetric emission profiles of Qdot Ab conjugates allow for minimal compensation when using a single excitation source, and the very long stoke shifts enable better, more efficient multicolor assays using the 405 nm violet laser. Available in multiple colors for use in flow cytometry, these advantages make Qdot Ab conjugates powerful tools for antibody labeling and staining. Staining: Stain cells in any standard staining buffer, such as phosphate buffered saline (PBS) with 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA). We recommend analysis of cells within 18 hours of staining. If dilute reagent is used, dilute only the quantity of reagent to be used within one day. Qdot Ab conjugates may be mixed with other antibodies, but use the diluted conjugates on the day of dilution. Qdot Ab conjugates can be used for surface staining applications with most conventional sample preparation reagents, such as Cal-Lyse™ Lysing Solution and FIX & PERM™ reagents, with minimal effect on fluorescence.

CD14 is a 55 kDa GPI-anchored glycoprotein that is constitutively expressed on the surface of mature monocytes, macrophages, and neutrophils. CD14 also serves as a multifunctional lipopolysaccharide receptor, and is released to the serum both as a secreted and enzymatically cleaved GPI-anchored form. CD14 binds lipopolysaccharide molecule in a reaction catalyzed by lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP), an acute phase serum protein. The soluble sCD14 can discriminate slight structural differences between lipopolysaccharides and is important for neutralization of serum allochthonous lipopolysaccharides by reconstituted lipoprotein particles. Further, CD14 has been shown to bind apoptotic cells, and can affect allergic, inflammatory and infectious processes. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same CD14 isoform. Diseases associated with CD14 dysfunction include mycobacterium chelonae infection and Croup.
