Invitrogen™ CD115 (c-fms) Monoclonal Antibody (12-3A3-1B10), eBioscience™

Rat Monoclonal Antibody

Description: CD115 or Colony-Stimulating Factor-1 Receptor (CSF-1R) is expressed on cells committed to the monocyte lineage and osteoclasts. CSF-1R is a disulfide-linked homodimer, which upon binding of its ligand, CSF-1, undergoes tyrosine autophosphorylation and subsequently, phosphorylates other membrane-proximal downstream targets which results in cytoskeletal remodeling, gene transcription and protein translation. CSF-1R activation promotes the survival, proliferation and differentiation of mononuclear phagocytes and the spreading and motility of macrophages. In osteoclasts, CSF-1R synergizes with RANKL to regulate the differentiation of mononuclear phagocytes to osteoclasts. Applications Reported: This 12-3A3-1B10 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis, immunoprecipitation, immunoblotting (WB), and immunohistochemical staining. Applications Tested: This 12-3A3-1B10 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal human peripheral blood cells. This can be used at less than or equal to 1 μg per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest. Purity: Greater than 90%, as determined by SDS-PAGE. Aggregation: Less than 10%, as determined by HPLC. Filtration: 0.2 ...
