COMBI IC Reagent: Mouse anti CD45 (FITC) and Mouse anti CD14 (PE)

The CD45 molecule is typically expressed at high levels on all hematopoietic cells. CD45 is a major component of the glycocalix of these cells and can be expressed in different isoforms. Antibody VIT200 recognizes a pan CD45 epitope, which is expressed on all hematopoietic cells. CD14 is a GPI-anchored molecule expressed by virtually all human monocytes and macrophages and – to a lesser degree - granulocytes. CD14 together with Toll-like receptor 4 and MD-2 forms the LPS-receptor complex that recognizes and signals the presence of LPS. While CD14 has no signaling structure its main role seems to be the binding of LPS. The VIT200/MEM18 COMBI-REAGENT-Gate Control permits the identification and enumeration of human leukocytes using flow cytometry.
