anti-CD66b (ANC1D5) Purified (Preservative-free)
Human CD66b (CEACAM8, CGMb, NCA-95) is a 95kD member of the Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) group. It is expressed on granulocytes and functions as an adhesion molecule. Similar to the CD66 a, c, and d isoforms, engagement of CD66b on neutrophils causes increased adhesion to endothelial cells (2). Crosslinking CD66b on neutrophils with antibodies triggers IL-8 release (3).

Antibody from clone ANC1D5 binds to CD66b on the cell surface of human PMN in Flow cytometry and detects recombinant CD66b in sandwich EIA utilizing either clone ANC4A4(Cat #220-020) or ANC3C5(Cat# 219-020) as a capture reagent. Clone ANC1D5 may cross react with other CD66 isoforms, as it also binds to cell surface of an epithelial tumor line.
