About CD11b
This gene encodes the integrin alpha M chain. Integrins are heterodimeric integral membrane proteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain. This I-domain containing alpha integrin combines with the beta 2 chain (ITGB2) to form a leukocyte-specific integrin referred to as macrophage receptor 1 ('Mac-1'), or inactivated-C3b (iC3b) receptor 3 ('CR3'). The alpha M beta 2 integrin is important in the adherence of neutrophils and monocytes to stimulated endothelium, and also in the phagocytosis of complement coated particles. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]

About PerCP-eFluor 710
PerCP-eFluor™ 710 (PerCP-eF710) is a red-emitting tandem fluorophore that combines PerCP and eF710. The donor molecule, PerCP can be excited by the 488-nm blue laser and and transfers energy to the acceptor molecule, eF710, which emitts light that can be captured with a 695/40 nm bandpass filter. PerCP-eF710 has an excitation peak at 482 nm and an emission peak at 710 nm, and is considered a slightly-red shifted but brighter alternative to PerCP-Cy5.5. This dye and associated products are mostly used for flow cytometry. This dye is part of the larger eFluor™ dye family, developed by eBioscience which is now part of ThermoFisher Scientific.
