CD14 Antibody LPSR/2397 recognizes CD14, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored cell surface glycoprotein involved in innate immune recognition of microbial components. Also known as the lipopolysaccharide receptor and monocyte differentiation antigen CD14, this protein is expressed prominently by circulating monocytes, tissue macrophages, and selected dendritic cell populations. CD14 functions as a pattern recognition co-receptor that facilitates cellular responses to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), making it an important marker for investigating 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 initiates downstream signaling. This process activates pathways involving NF-kappaB and interferon regulatory factors, leading to the production of inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and other mediators of innate immunity. CD14 also contributes to the 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 an indicator of myeloid cell identity and functional state. A Monocyte Differentiation Antigen Antibody can help characterize CD14-positive populations in experimental tissues and cell preparations.
In immunological research, CD14 is frequently examined alongside CD68, CD11b, CD16, and other markers to characterize monocyte subsets, macrophage differentiation, and inflammatory responses. Its involvement in bacterial endotoxin recognition also makes CD14 relevant to studies of sepsis, inflammatory disorders, and host-pathogen interactions. Detection of CD14 provides information about receptor expression and distribution in immune cell populations.
NSJ Bioreagents offers clone LPSR/2397 for investigations of human CD14 expression. The antibody was generated using a recombinant human CD14 fragment within amino acids 25-148. A CD14 Antibody LPSR/2397 supports studies of monocyte differentiation, macrophage biology, microbial recognition, and inflammatory signaling.
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.
Variations in protocols, secondaries and substrates may require the CD14 Antibody LPSR/2397 / Monocyte Differentiation Antigen Antibody to be titered up or down for optimal performance.
A human recombinant partial protein (within amino acids 25-148) was used as immunogen for this CD14 Antibody LPSR/2397.
CD14 Antibody LPSR/2397 with azide can be stored at 2-8oC. The azide-free format should be aliquoted and stored at -20oC or colder.
