CD14 antibody recognizes CD14, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored cell surface glycoprotein encoded by the CD14 gene and widely used as a macrophage marker in immunology and pathology. CD14 is predominantly expressed on monocytes, macrophages, and to a lesser extent neutrophils, where it localizes to the plasma membrane and functions as a co-receptor for the detection of bacterial lipopolysaccharide. CD14 antibody, also referred to as macrophage marker antibody and LPS receptor antibody in the literature, targets a key component of innate immune recognition pathways. CD14 cooperates with TLR4 and MD-2 to mediate cellular responses to endotoxin, triggering downstream NF-kappaB signaling and pro-inflammatory cytokine production. In addition to its membrane-bound form, a soluble form of CD14 can be detected in serum, contributing to systemic inflammatory signaling.
Structurally, CD14 belongs to the leucine-rich repeat protein family and contains multiple LRR motifs that mediate ligand interaction. The protein is heavily glycosylated, which can influence its apparent molecular weight in SDS-PAGE analyses. CD14 antibody is commonly applied in the evaluation of monocyte and macrophage distribution in tissues, including spleen, lymph node, liver, lung, and sites of chronic inflammation. In normal tissues, CD14-positive cells are typically observed within the interstitium, sinusoids, and inflammatory infiltrates. In tumor microenvironments, CD14 expression helps characterize tumor-associated macrophages, which play roles in immune modulation, angiogenesis, and tumor progression.
CD14 gene expression is regulated during myeloid differentiation and is often used to define classical monocyte subsets in peripheral blood. Altered CD14 expression has been associated with sepsis, autoimmune disorders, chronic inflammatory diseases, and cancer-related immune responses. CD14 antibody is therefore valuable for studying innate immune activation, macrophage polarization states, and inflammatory signaling pathways in both research and translational settings. Clone LPSR/2408 is designed to recognize CD14 in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues and other research applications where macrophage identification is required. An antibody to CD14 is suitable for detecting macrophage and monocyte populations in diverse experimental contexts.
Variations in protocols, secondaries and substrates may require the CD14 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.
CD14 antibody with azide can be stored at 2-8oC. The azide-free format should be aliquoted and stored at -20oC or colder.
