1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results. 2. Please refer to us for technical protocols. 3. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.

The WT.5 antibody reacts with the alpha subunit of Mac-1 (alphaMbeta2, CD11b/CD18) found on neutrophils and myeloid cells, but not on lymphocytes. Mac-1 expression is rapidly upregulated on neutrophils after activation, in the same time period that CD62L (L-selectin) is shed from the cell surface. Mac-1 mediates adhesion to ICAM-1 (CD54) and C3bi. Neutrophil binding to ICAM-1 is blocked by mAb WT.5. This antibody is routinely tested by flow cytometric analysis. Synonyms: Integrin alphaM chain, Mac-1 alpha chain
