General Notes
Mouse anti Bovine CD14, clone CC-G33 recognizes bovine CD14.CD14 is a GPI-anchored membrane glycoprotein and monocyte/macrophage differentiation antigen, belonging to the lipopolysaccharide receptor family, also expressed weakly on microglia and Langerhans cells. CD14 acts as a receptor for the potent bacterial endotoxin, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), facilitated by LPS-binding protein (LBP). The binding of LPS to CD14 results in cell activation and the release of cytokines and the inflammatory response, and has been shown to upregulate the cell surface expression of adhesion molecules.Mouse anti Bovine CD14 clone CC-G33 cross-reacts with human CD14 expressed on transfected COS-7 cells (Berthon & Hopkins 1996), ovine CD14 (Sopp et al. 1996) and Water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) CD14, (Mirielli et al. 2013).
