The rat monoclonal antibody clone M1/70 binds to human and mouse CD11b, also known as integrin alpha M. This 165-170 kDa cell surface glycoprotein is part of a family of integrin α-receptors that mediate adhesion between cells (cell-cell) and components of the extracellular matrix, e.g., fibrinogen (cell-matrix). In addition, integrin α's are active signaling receptors that recruit leukocytes to inflammatory sites and promote cell activation. Complete, functional integrin α-receptors consist of distinct combinations of integrin α-chains, which are differentially expressed. integrin alpha M (CD11b) assembles with integrin beta-2 (CD18) into a receptor known as Macrophage Antigen-1 (Mac-1) or complement receptor type 3 (CR3). This receptor binds and induces intracellular signaling through ICAM-1, ICAM-2, ICAM-3, and ICAM-4 on endothelial cells and can also facilitate the removal of iC3b-bearing foreign cells.
