CD14 Polyclonal 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 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 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 initiates 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 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, making CD14 useful for characterizing myeloid cell populations and their functional states. A Monocyte Marker Antibody can help identify CD14-positive cells within heterogeneous tissues and experimental cell populations.
In immunological research, CD14 is frequently examined alongside CD68, CD11b, CD16, and other markers to investigate monocyte subsets, macrophage differentiation, and inflammatory responses. CD14 expression is also relevant to studies of bacterial infection, sepsis, and host-pathogen interactions. Immunohistochemical and immunofluorescent detection can reveal its distribution within tissues, while flow cytometry provides information about cell-associated expression.
NSJ Bioreagents offers this rabbit polyclonal antibody for investigations of human CD14 expression. The immunogen corresponds to amino acids 20-259 of human CD14, encompassing much of its extracellular region. A CD14 Polyclonal Antibody supports studies of monocyte identification, macrophage biology, and innate immune recognition.
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 Polyclonal Antibody / Monocyte Marker Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
Recombinant human protein (amino acids T20-N259) was used as the immunogen for the CD14 Polyclonal Antibody.
After reconstitution, the CD14 Polyclonal Antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
