CD14 Rodent Antibody recognizes CD14, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored cell surface glycoprotein involved in innate immune recognition of microbial components. Also known as monocyte differentiation antigen CD14 and the lipopolysaccharide receptor, this protein is expressed predominantly by monocytes, macrophages, and selected dendritic cell populations. CD14 functions as a pattern recognition co-receptor that facilitates responses to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), making it an important marker for studying myeloid cell differentiation, macrophage activation, and host defense in mouse and rat models.
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 inflammatory pathways involving NF-kappaB and interferon regulatory factors, leading to the production of 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 can facilitate responses to LPS 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 Mouse and Rat CD14 Antibody can help characterize CD14-positive populations in experimental rodent tissues and cells.
Mouse and rat models are widely used to investigate bacterial infection, sepsis, inflammatory disorders, and host-pathogen interactions. CD14 expression is frequently examined alongside CD68, CD11b, and other myeloid markers to characterize monocyte subsets, macrophage differentiation, and inflammatory responses. Immunohistochemical detection can reveal CD14-positive cells within tissues, while flow cytometry provides information about cell-associated expression. Western blot analysis can also be used to investigate CD14 protein abundance in experimental samples.
NSJ Bioreagents offers this rabbit polyclonal antibody for investigations of mouse and rat CD14 expression. The immunogen corresponds to amino acids 16-260 of mouse CD14, encompassing much of its extracellular region. A CD14 Rodent Antibody supports research into monocyte and macrophage identification, microbial recognition, and inflammatory signaling in rodent models.
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.
Optimal dilution of the CD14 Rodent Antibody / Mouse and Rat CD14 Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A recombinant mouse protein corresponding to amino acids S16-A260 was used as the immunogen for the CD14 Rodent Antibody.
After reconstitution, the CD14 Rodent Antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
