Target description

Monocyte differentiation antigen CD14 (UniProt: P08571; also known as Myeloid cell-specific leucine-rich glycoprotein, CD14) is encoded by the CD14 gene (Gene ID: 929) in human. CD14 is a GPI-anchor membrane glycoprotein that serves as a co-receptor for several Toll-like receptors. Together with TLR4 and MD-2, it forms the multi-receptor complex that recognizes Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the cell membrane. In the presence of LPS, CD14 and TLR4-MD2 are brought into close proximity inside lipid rafts and after translocation into the lipid rafts, TLR4 in the plasma membrane activates the TIRAP-MyD88-dependent pathway that leads to the first wave of NF-B activation. CD14 also acts as a co-receptor for TLR2:TLR6 heterodimer in response to diacylated lipopeptides and for TLR2:TLR1 heterodimer in response to triacylated lipopeptides. These clusters trigger signaling from the cell surface and subsequently are targeted to the Golgi in a lipid-raft dependent pathway. CD14 expression has been reported on cells of both hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic origin. A secreted form of CD14 has also reported that arises from the cleavage of the GPI anchor. CD14 is expressed on macrophages and a strong expression has been reported on the surface of monocytes. Its expression on monocytes is induced by 27-hydroxycholesterol that primes monocytes/macrophages to accelerate LPS-mediated inflammatory reaction. CD14-deficient macrophages display a significantly reduced sensitivity to low concentrations of LPS compared to wild-type cells and CD14 deficient mice do not develop septic shock after exposure to LPS or Gram-negative bacteria. CD14 is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-19) and a propeptide (aa 346-375) that are cleaved off to generate the mature form. The mature form contains 11 leucine-rich repeats (LRR) that are required for responses to smooth LPS. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Physical form

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.

Reconstitution

30 μg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Storage and Stability

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
