Background Information
CD18, also known as integrin beta-2, is a transmembrane protein that forms heterodimers with CD11a, CD11b, CD11c, CD11d (PMID: 1968349). CD11a/CD18 (LFA-1) is expressed by all leukocytes, while CD11b/CD18 (Mac-1) and CD11c/CD18 (p150,95) are normally restricted to expression on monocytes, macrophages, polymorphonuclear lymphocytes (PMNs), and natural killer cells (PMID: 1968349; 3109455; 10946284). CD18 plays an important role in mediating cell adhesion during immune response and defects of CD18 cause leukocyte adhesion deficiency (PMID: 3594570).
