Immunohistochemistry (Frozen sections) - Anti-CD11b + CD11c antibody [OX42] - BSA and Azide free (AB238658)
This data was developed using ab1211, the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation.
Immunofluorescence staining of CD11b + CD11c staining in a section of 10% formalin fixed (10 mins, RT) frozen rat spleen.
Non-specific protein-protein interactions were then blocked in TBS containing 0.025% (v/v) Triton X-100, 0.3M (w/v) glycine and 1% (w/v) BSA for 1h at room temperature. The section was then incubated overnight at +4°C in TBS containing 0.025% (v/v) Triton X-100 and 1% (w/v) BSA with ab1211 at 1μg/ml. The section was then incubated with ab150117 (Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preabsorbed, (Shown in green) 1.5μg/ml) for 1 hour at room temperature. Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue). The section was then mounted using Fluoromount®.
Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).
For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated), customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, antibody concentrations and incubation times.

IHC protocol advice:
This antibody is not suitable for IHC on paraffin-embedded samples.
For best results in IHC on frozen tissue, the following may help detection:
1) Paraformaldehyde** perfusion fixed samples have worked well for many customers.
2) For non-perfused tissue, either snap freeze or emerse in periodate-lysine-paraformaldehyde (PLP) fixative for 24 hours at 4°C. Reduce the concentration of paraformaldehyde to 0.25-0.5% since this increases the staining intensity for immune cell surface markers (PMID: 7868861).
3) PFA-fixed samples will require cryoprotection by sucrose infiltration.
4) Use OCT (TissueTek) compound for embedding.
5) For snap frozen tissue, fix sections in cold acetone for 10 min. Allow to dry for 10 min at room temperature. Wash with water for 10 min.
6) Do not heat the samples or sections.**
7) During the staining procedure, do not allow the sections to dry out.

Biological function summary
Integrins αM (CD11b) and αX (CD11c) facilitate key processes such as adhesion and migration of leukocytes. Both CD11b and CD11c pair with CD18 to form the Mac-1 (Macrophage-1 antigen also known as CR3) and p15095 complexes respectively. These complexes participate in both innate and adaptive immune responses by binding to various ligands like ICAM-1 and fibrinogen. CD11b/CD18 (Mac-1) additionally plays an essential role in phagocytosis degranulation and respiratory burst important activities for pathogen clearance.
Pathways
These integrins engage in critical signaling pathways including the NF-kappaB and MAPK pathways. They regulate the inflammatory response and cell survival. CD11b interacts closely with other proteins like ICAM-1 and C3b which are involved in these pathways. CD11c also contributes to similar pathways although it plays a more specialized role in dendritic cells impacting antigen presentation and immune regulation.
