P. Stephens et al., KIM127, AN ANTIBODY THAT PROMOTES ADHESION, MAPS TO A REGION OF CD18 THAT INCLUDES CYSTEINE-RICH REPEATS, Cell adhesion and communication, 3(5), 1995, pp. 375-384
A series of fusion proteins have been generated between human and mous
e CD18. These proteins have been used to carry out preliminary mapping
studies on a number of anti-CD18 antibodies including KIM127 an antib
ody that promotes CD18-dependent adhesion. This antibody maps to a reg
ion of the CD18 molecule between amino acids 406 and 570 in a region c
ontaining cysteine-rich repeats.
