ANTI-CD14

Anti-CD14 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org). Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit .

Monocyte differentiation antigen CD14 is located at 5q31.1 on the human chromosome.

CD14 is a pattern recognition receptor which helps to enhance the immune response during infection. During infection, CD14 first sensitize the cell to lipopolysaccharide and other lipoproteins followed by delivering these lipidated products to various Toll-like receptor signaling complexes. After delivery, it induces proinflammatory signaling cascades by ligand binding and causes cellular immune responses.
