Recombinant Mouse Integrin alpha x beta 2, CF Datasheet Catalog Number: PR15089CF Product Type: Recombinant Protein Source: Chinese Hamster Ovary cell line, CHO- derived mouse Integrin alpha X beta 2 protein. Description: Integrin alpha X beta 2, also called CD11c/CD18, p150/95 or complement receptor type 4 (CR4), is one of four beta 2 integrins. The non-covalent heterodimer of 150 kDa alpha X/CD11c and 95 kDa beta 2/CD18 integrin subunits is commonly used as a marker for dendritic cells (DC) and classically activated macrophages (M1), but is also expressed on hairy cell leukemias, with lower amounts on other myeloid cells and activated B, NK and some cytotoxic T cells. Inflammation enhances surface expression of alpha X beta 2 in states such as obesity (adipose DC), asthma (lung DC) and hypertriglyceridemia (circulating monocytes), increasing the adhesive capacity of the cells and contributing to pathology. The alpha X vWFA or I‑domain, which contains the adhesion sites, forms the N‑terminal head region with the alpha X beta-propeller and the beta 2 vWFA domain. Molecular Mass: 131 kDa (Integrin alpha X) & 83 kDa (Integrin beta 2) Purity: Greater than 95.0% as determined by: (a) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. Biological Activity: Measured by the ability of the immobilized protein to support adhesion of J45.01 human acute lymphoblastic leukemia T lymphocytes. The ED50 for this effect is 0.2-1.0 μg/mL. Format: Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in PBS. Reconstitution: Reconstitute at 100 μg/mL in PBS. Storage: This product can be stored for up to 1 month at 2°C to 8°C under sterile condition after reconstitution, for up to 3 months at -20°C to -70°C under sterile condition after reconstitution, or for up to 12 months at -20°C to -70°C as supplied.

CD Markers Are Routinely Used for the Immunophenotyping of Cells
ptglab.com 1 CD MARKER ANTIBODIES www.ptglab.com Introduction The cluster of differentiation (abbreviated as CD) is a protocol used for the identification and investigation of cell surface molecules. So-called CD markers are routinely used for the immunophenotyping of cells. Despite this use, they are not limited to roles in the immune system and perform a variety of roles in cell differentiation, adhesion, migration, blood clotting, gamete fertilization, amino acid transport and apoptosis, among many others. As such, Proteintech’s mini catalog featuring its antibodies targeting CD markers is applicable to a wide range of research disciplines. PRODUCT FOCUS PECAM1 Platelet endothelial cell adhesion of blood vessels – making up a large portion molecule-1 (PECAM1), also known as cluster of its intracellular junctions.

Mechanisms of Leukocyte Distribution During Sepsis
Ploppa et al. Critical Care 2010, 14:R201 http://ccforum.com/content/14/6/R201 RESEARCH Open Access Mechanisms of leukocyte distribution during sepsis: an experimental study on the interdependence of cell activation, shear stress and endothelial injury Annette Ploppa1, Volker Schmidt1, Andreas Hientz2, Joerg Reutershan1, Helene A Haeberle1, Boris Nohé1* Abstract Introduction: This study was carried out to determine whether interactions of cell activation, shear stress and platelets at sites of endothelial injury explain the paradoxical maldistribution of activated leukocytes during sepsis away from local sites of infection towards disseminated leukocyte accumulation at remote sites. Methods: Human umbilical venous endothelial cells (HUVEC) and polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) were activated with lipopolysaccharide at 100 and 10 ng/ml to achieve adhesion molecule patterns as have been reported from the hyper- and hypo-inflammatory stage of sepsis. To examine effects of leukocyte activation on leukocyte-endothelial interactions, activated HUVEC were perfused with activated and non-activated neutrophils in a parallel plate flow chamber. Adhesion molecule expression and function were assessed by flow cytometry and blocking antibodies. In a subset of experiments the sub-endothelial matrix was exposed and covered with platelets to account for the effects of endothelial injury. To investigate interactions of these effects with flow, all experiments were done at various shear stress levels (3 to 0.25 dyne/cm2). Leukocyte-endothelial interactions were analyzed by videomicroscopy and analysis of covariance. Results: Activation of neutrophils rendered adhesion increasingly dependent on shear stress reduction. At normal shear stress, shedding of L-selectin decreased adhesion by 56%. Increased rolling fractions of activated PMN at low shear stress revealed impaired integrin affinity despite numerical up-regulation of CD11b.

Cell Adhesion Molecules in Normal Skin and Melanoma
biomolecules Review Cell Adhesion Molecules in Normal Skin and Melanoma Cian D’Arcy and Christina Kiel * Systems Biology Ireland & UCD Charles Institute of Dermatology, School of Medicine, University College Dublin, D04 V1W8 Dublin, Ireland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +353-1-716-6344 Abstract: Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) of the cadherin, integrin, immunoglobulin, and selectin protein families are indispensable for the formation and maintenance of multicellular tissues, espe- cially epithelia. In the epidermis, they are involved in cell–cell contacts and in cellular interactions with the extracellular matrix (ECM), thereby contributing to the structural integrity and barrier for- mation of the skin. Bulk and single cell RNA sequencing data show that >170 CAMs are expressed in the healthy human skin, with high expression levels in melanocytes, keratinocytes, endothelial, and smooth muscle cells. Alterations in expression levels of CAMs are involved in melanoma propagation, interaction with the microenvironment, and metastasis. Recent mechanistic analyses together with protein and gene expression data provide a better picture of the role of CAMs in the context of skin physiology and melanoma. Here, we review progress in the field and discuss molecular mechanisms in light of gene expression profiles, including recent single cell RNA expression information. We highlight key adhesion molecules in melanoma, which can guide the identification of pathways and Citation: D’Arcy, C.; Kiel, C. Cell strategies for novel anti-melanoma therapies.

The Role of CD22 and Bim Expression As Determinants for the Regulation of Antigen-Specific Adaptive Immune Responses
The role of CD22 and Bim expression as determinants for the regulation of antigen-specific adaptive immune responses Daphne Yin-Wai Ma A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2012 Reading Committee: Edward A. Clark, Chair Michael J. Gale Jessica A. Hamerman Program authorized to offer Degree: Department of Immunology University of Washington Abstract The role of CD22 and Bim expression as determinants for the regulation of antigen- specific adaptive immune responses Daphne Yin-Wai Ma Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Edward A. Clark Department of Immunology West Nile Virus (WNV) is a RNA virus of the family Flaviviridae and the leading cause of mosquito-borne encephalitis in the United States. Humoral immunity is essential for protection against WNV infection; however, the requirements for initiating effective antibody responses against WNV infection are still unclear. CD22 (Siglec-2) is expressed on B cells and regulates B cell receptor signaling, cell survival, proliferation and antibody production. Here we investigated how CD22 contributes to protection against WNV infection. We found that CD22 knockout (Cd22-/-) mice were highly susceptible to WNV infection and had increased viral loads in the serum and central nervous system (CNS) compared to wildtype (WT) mice. This outcome was not due to a defect in humoral immunity as Cd22-/- mice had normal WNV-specific antibody responses. However, Cd22-/- mice had decreased WNV-specific CD8+ T cell responses compared to WT mice. These defects were not simply due to reduced proliferation or increased cell death, but rather were associated with decreased lymphocyte migration into the draining lymph nodes (dLNs) of infected Cd22-/- mice.
