Scientific Data Images for Mouse CD14 Antibody

Detection of Mouse CD14 by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysate of J774A.1 mouse reticulum cell sarcoma macrophage cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Rat Anti-Mouse CD14 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB982) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Rat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF005). A specific band was detected for CD14 at approximately 50-55 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Detection of CD14 in Mouse Spleen.

CD14 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of mouse spleen using Rat Anti-Mouse CD14 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB982) at 5 µg/ml for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Rat IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC005). Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using VisUCyte Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # VCTS021). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to the cytoplasm and membrane.

Background: CD14

CD14 is a 55 kDa cell surface glycoprotein that is preferentially expressed on monocytes/macrophages. The mouse CD14 cDNA encodes a 366 amino acid (aa) residue precursor protein with a 15 aa signal peptide and a C-terminal hydrophobic region characteristic for glycosylphosphatidyinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins. Mouse CD14 has five potential N-linked glycosylation sites and also bears O-linked carbohydrates. The amino acid sequence of mouse CD14 is approximately 65% and 82% identical to the human and rat proteins, respectively. CD14 is a pattern recognition receptor that binds lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and a variety of ligands derived from different microbial sources. The binding of CD14 with LPS is catalyzed by LPS-binding protein (LBP). The toll-like-receptors have also been implicated in the transduction of CD14-LPS signals. Similar to other GPI-anchored proteins, soluble CD14 can be released from the cell surface by phosphatidyinositol-specific phospholipase C. Soluble CD14 has been detected in serum and body fluids. High concentrations of soluble CD14 have been shown to inhibit LPS-mediated responses. However, soluble CD14 can also potentiate LPS response in cells that do not express cell surface CD14.
