Anti-Mouse CD11a FITC

Description: The M17/4 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse CD11a, the 180 kDa integrin alpha L, also known as the lymphocyte function associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) alpha chain. LFA-1, formed by non-covalent association of CD11a with CD18 (integrin beta 2), serves as an important adhesion molecule involved in lymphocyte and granulocyte function. CD54 (ICAM-1), CD102 (ICAM-2), and CD50 (ICAM-3) are ligands for LFA-1. CD11a is expressed by all leukocytes.
