Western blot - Anti-CD18 antibody [MEM148] - Low endotoxin, Azide free (AB176540)

The reactivity of MEM-148 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 ab176540 (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.

Target data

Integrin ITGAL/ITGB2 is a receptor for ICAM1, ICAM2, ICAM3 and ICAM4. Integrin ITGAL/ITGB2 is also a receptor for the secreted form of ubiquitin-like protein ISG15; the interaction is mediated by ITGAL (PubMed : 29100055). Integrins ITGAM/ITGB2 and ITGAX/ITGB2 are receptors for the iC3b fragment of the third complement component and for fibrinogen. Integrin ITGAX/ITGB2 recognizes the sequence G-P-R in fibrinogen alpha-chain. Integrin ITGAM/ITGB2 recognizes P1 and P2 peptides of fibrinogen gamma chain. Integrin ITGAM/ITGB2 is also a receptor for factor X. Integrin ITGAD/ITGB2 is a receptor for ICAM3 and VCAM1. Contributes to natural killer cell cytotoxicity (PubMed : 15356110). Involved in leukocyte adhesion and transmigration of leukocytes including T-cells and neutrophils (PubMed : 11812992, PubMed : 28807980). Triggers neutrophil transmigration during lung injury through PTK2B/PYK2-mediated activation (PubMed : 18587400). Integrin ITGAL/ITGB2 in association with ICAM3, contributes to apoptotic neutrophil phagocytosis by macrophages (PubMed : 23775590). In association with alpha subunit ITGAM/CD11b, required for CD177-PRTN3-mediated activation of TNF primed neutrophils (PubMed : 21193407).
