ITGAL antibody

Catalog No. ABIN120693

Product Details anti-ITGAL Antibody

Target: ITGAL (Integrin alpha-L (ITGAL))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This ITGAL antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunoprecipitation (IP), Functional Studies (Func)

Specificity: The antibody recognizes an unique epitope on CD11a antigen (LFA-1 alpha chain) implicated in activation of LFA-1 complex.

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Species reactivity (tested):Human.

Purification: Affinity Chromatography on Protein A

Immunogen: Human peripheral blood lymphocytes

Clone: MEM-83

Isotype: IgG1

Application Details

Application Notes: Functional Application. The antibody MEM-83 directly induces the binding of T cells to purified ICAM-1. Using an in vitro-translated CDlla cDNA deletion series, the MEM-83 activation epitope was mapped to the I domain of the LFA-1 a subunit. The studies have therefore identified a novel LFA-1 activation epitope mapping to the I domain of LFA-1, which could play a role in the regulation of LFA-1 binding to ICAM-1. Flow Cytometry. Immunoprecipitation.
Other applications not tested.
Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Target Details for ITGAL

Target: ITGAL (Integrin alpha-L (ITGAL))

Alternative Name: CD11a / ITGAL (ITGAL Products)

Background: CD11a (LFA-1a) together with CD18 constitute leukocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1), the aLb2 integrin. CD11a is implicated in activation of LFA-1 complex. LFA-1 is expressed on the plasma membrane of leukocytes in a low-affinity conformation. Cell stimulation by chemokines or other signals leads to induction the high-affinity conformation, which supports tight binding of LFA-1 to its ligands, the intercellular adhesion molecules ICAM-1, -2, -3. LFA-1 is thus involved in interaction of various immune cells and in their tissue-specific settlement, but participates also in control of cell differentiation and proliferation and of T-cell effector functions. Blocking of LFA-1 function by specific antibodies or small molecules has become an important therapeutic approach in treatment of multiple inflammatory diseases. For example, humanized anti-LFA-1 antibody Efalizumab (Raptiva) is being used to interfere with T cell migration to sites of inflammation, binding of cholesterol-lowering drug simvastatin to CD11a allosteric site leads to immunomodulation and increase in lymphocytic cholinergic activity.Synonyms: CD11 antigen-like family member A, Integrin alpha-L, LFA-1, LFA1, Leukocyte adhesion glycoprotein LFA-1 alpha chain, Leukocyte function-associated molecule 1 alpha chain
