Anti-TREM2 Antibody [78.18] - BSA and Azide free (A278761)

Anti-TREM2 Antibody [78.18] - BSA and Azide free

Rat monoclonal [78.18] antibody to TREM2.

This antibody recognises triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM-2), an activating receptor of the Ig superfamily. TREM-2 forms a receptor signaling complex with DAP12 to trigger the activation of the immune response in macrophages and dendritic cells. It may be involved in chronic inflammation and may promote the production of constitutive rather than inflammatory chemokines and cytokines. TREM-2 may also have a functional role in osteoclast formation.Stimulation of TREM-2 with Rat anti Mouse Trem-2 antibody, clone 78.18 enhances multinucleated osteoclast formation in vitro. Rat anti Mouse Trem-2 antibody, clone 78.18 may also be used to block TREM-2 on pre-osteoclasts to inhibit the formation of multinuclear osteoclasts and to inhibit bone resorption by mature osteoclasts.
