General Notes
Rat anti Human CD18 antibody, clone YFC118.3 was clustered at the Fourth International Workshop on Leucocyte Differentiation Antigens (code number N221) as recognizing the CD18 antigen. CD18 is an integral membrane glycoprotein of ~95 kDa, also known as the beta 2 chain, of the LFA-1 complex. CD18 links non-covalently to either CD11a, b or c molecules forming the heteromeric LFA-1 complex. CD18 acts as the receptor for ICAM-1 and is important for cell adhesion and cell-cell interactions.
