CD14 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody recognizes CD14, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored glycoprotein involved in innate immune recognition of microbial components. Also known as monocyte differentiation antigen CD14 and the lipopolysaccharide receptor, CD14 is prominently expressed by circulating monocytes, tissue macrophages, and selected dendritic cell populations. It functions as a pattern recognition co-receptor that facilitates cellular responses to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), making it an important marker for studying myeloid cell differentiation, macrophage activation, and host defense.
CD14 participates in bacterial endotoxin recognition through interactions with lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) and the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-MD-2 signaling complex. LBP transfers LPS to CD14, which promotes its delivery to TLR4-MD-2 and facilitates downstream signaling. This process activates NF-kappaB and interferon regulatory factor pathways, resulting in the production of inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and other mediators of innate immunity. CD14 also contributes to recognition of additional microbial components and participates in receptor internalization and endosomal signaling.
CD14 exists in membrane-associated and soluble forms. Membrane CD14 is particularly abundant on monocytes and macrophages, while soluble CD14 circulates in extracellular fluids and can facilitate LPS responses in cells with limited membrane CD14 expression. Expression levels vary during monocyte differentiation and macrophage activation, allowing CD14 to serve as a useful indicator of myeloid cell identity and functional state. A Lipopolysaccharide Receptor Antibody can help characterize CD14-positive populations and investigate their responses to microbial stimuli.
In immunological research, CD14 expression is frequently examined alongside CD68, CD11b, CD16, and other markers to characterize monocyte subsets and macrophage populations. Its involvement in bacterial endotoxin recognition also makes CD14 relevant to studies of sepsis, inflammatory disorders, and host-pathogen interactions. Detection of CD14 can provide information about receptor expression and distribution in experimental tissues and cell populations.
NSJ Bioreagents offers this rabbit polyclonal antibody for investigations of CD14 expression and innate immune signaling. A CD14 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody supports research into monocyte and macrophage differentiation, microbial recognition, and inflammatory responses.
For an alternative antibody targeting the same monocyte and macrophage surface marker, see our CD14 Antibody LPSR/2385, a mouse monoclonal antibody featuring IHC, western blot, flow cytometry, and protein microarray validation.
Titration of the CD14 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody / Lipopolysaccharide Receptor Antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.
A portion of amino acids 54-83 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for this CD14 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody.
Aliquot the CD14 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
