Flow Cytometry - Anti-CD18 antibody [MEM-48] (AB657)

Human peripheral blood lymphocytes stained with ab657 (red line). Human whole blood was processed using a modified protocol based on Chow et al, 2005 (PMID : 16080188). In brief, human whole blood was fixed in 4% formaldehyde (methanol-free) for 10 min at 22°C. Red blood cells were then lyzed by the addition of Triton X-100 (final concentration - 0.1%) for 15 min at 37°C. For experimentation, cells were treated with 50% methanol (-20°C) for 15 min at 4°C. Cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab657, 1μg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 4°C. The secondary antibody used was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H&L) (ab150113) at 1/2000 dilution for 30 min at 4°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG1 [ICIGG1] (ab91353, 1μg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control. Acquisition of >30,000 total events were collected using a 20mW Argon ion laser (488nm) and 525/30 bandpass filter. Gating strategy - peripheral blood lymphocytes.

Western blot - Anti-CD18 antibody [MEM-48] (AB657)

The reactivity of MEM-48 antibody was assessed by comparing binding signals in a panel of various human cell samples. Western blotting analysis was performed on RIPA buffer extracts of THP-1, Kg1a, U937, HPB-ALL, Raji, Jurkat, leukocytes, and HeLa cells, mixed and heated (100°C, 5 min) with reducing (2-mercaptoethanol) SDS-loading buffer. Samples were resolved using 10% SDS-PAGE gel.

Nitrocellulose membrane blot was probed with ab657 (2 µg/ml), followed by IRDye 800CW Goat-anti-Mouse IgG (green). For multiplex fluorescent Western blot detection, mouse anti-GAPDH monoclonal antibody FF26A conjugated with DyLight 680 (0.1 µg/ml) was used as the loading control (red).

CD18 was detected at ~90-100 kDa in the respective cell lines.

Supplementary information

CD18 also known as ITGB2 is a protein with a molecular weight of approximately 95 kDa. It is part of the beta-2 integrin family and partners with different alpha subunits to form heterodimers. CD18 is primarily expressed on leukocytes including neutrophils monocytes macrophages and lymphocytes. As a surface marker CD18 plays a significant role in immune cell adhesion and migration enabling cells to respond to inflammation signals effectively.
Biological function summary

The CD18 protein functions in conjunction with associated alpha subunit partners forming a part of the wider integrin family complex. ItgB2 as it is sometimes referred to is essential for cell adhesion processes. These heterodimers facilitate binding between leukocytes and various ligands on endothelial cells which subsequently controls leukocyte transmigration through vascular walls. CD18's activities are critical in immune system responses making it a prominent focus in immunological research.

Pathways

The role of CD18 extends into inflammatory and immune response signaling pathways. It contributes critically to the leukocyte adhesion cascade. This cascade engagement involves interaction with other proteins such as ICAM-1 on endothelial surfaces. CD18 through its association in integrin-mediated signaling influences processes like phagocytosis and lymphocyte activation giving it a central place in cellular immunity.

Deficiencies or mutations affecting CD18 function correlate with disorders such as Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency type I (LAD-I). This condition results from impaired leukocyte function due to defective integrin expression. The role of CD18 in arthritis is also significant primarily by mediating leukocyte infiltration into inflamed tissues. Its interaction with proteins like ICAM-1 becomes exceptionally relevant in these disease dynamics indicating potential therapeutic targets for modulating immune responses.
