Flow cytometric analysis of CD18 expression on human blood lymphocytes. Whole blood was stained with either Purified Mouse Anti-Human CD18 (Cat. No. 555922; solid line histogram) or Purified Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 555746; dashed line histogram). Secondary staining was carried out with FITC Goat Anti-Mouse IgG/IgM (Cat. No. 555988) Erythrocytes were lysed with BD FACS™ Lysing Solution (Cat. No. 349202). Fluorescence histograms depicting CD18(or Ig isotype control) expression were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable lymphocytes.

Preparation And Storage
Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
- Sodium azide is a reversible inhibitor of oxidative metabolism; therefore, antibody preparations containing this preservative agent must not be used in cell cultures nor injected into animals. Sodium azide may be removed by washing stained cells or plate-bound antibody or dialyzing soluble antibody in sodium azide-free buffer. Since endotoxin may also affect the results of functional studies, we recommend the NA/LE (No Azide/Low Endotoxin) antibody format, if available, for in vitro and in vivo use.
- Species cross-reactivity detected in product development may not have been confirmed on every format and/or application.

The 6.7 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to β2 integrin, a 90-95 kDa transmembrane protein, which associates non-covalently as a heterodimer with the a chains of CD11a, CD11b, or CD11c. CD18 is expressed on lymphocytes, monocytes, and more weakly on granulocytes. LFA-1 has been shown to play an important role in homotypic and heterotypic cellular adhesion in immune and inflammatory responses.
