S100A9, also known as Calgranulin B or MRP14, is a calcium- and zinc-binding protein which plays a prominent role in the regulation of inflammatory processes and immune response. It can induce neutrophil chemotaxis, adhesion, can increase the bactericidal activity of neutrophils by promoting phagocytosis via activation of SYK, PI3K/AKT, and ERK1/2 and can induce degranulation of neutrophils by a MAPK-dependent mechanism. Predominantly found as calprotectin (S100A8/A9) which has a wide plethora of intra- and extracellular functions. The intracellular functions include: facilitating leukocyte arachidonic acid trafficking and metabolism, modulation of the tubulin-dependent cytoskeleton during migration of phagocytes and activation of the neutrophilic NADPH-oxidase.

Immunofluorescence: 1 - 2 µg/ml Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 1 - 2 µg/ml for 30 min at RT (1) Titering of the S100A9 antibody may be required for optimal performance.

1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10 mM Citrate buffer, pH 6,0, for 10 - 20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min. Not suitable for frozen tissue testing.
