CD68 Antibody

• Catalog Number: orb606879
• Category: Antibodies
• Description: This antibody recognizes a glycoprotein of 110kDa, which is identified as CD68. It is important for identifying macrophages in tissue sections. It stains macrophages in a wide variety of human tissues, including Kupffer cells and macrophages in the red pulp of the spleen, in lamina propria of the gut, in lung alveoli, and in bone marrow. It reacts with myeloid precursors and peripheral blood granulocytes. It also reacts with plasmacytoid T cells, which are supposed to be of monocyte/macrophage origin. It shows strong granular cytoplasmic staining of chronic and acute myeloid leukemia and also reacts with rare cases of true histiocytic neoplasia. Lymphomas are negative or show few granules.
• Clonality: Recombinant
• Species/Host: Rabbit
• Isotype: Rabbit IgG, kappa
• Conjugation: Unconjugated
• Reactivity: Human
• Immunogen: Full length recombinant human protein was used as the immunogen for the recombinant CD68 antibody.
• UniProt ID: P34810
• Tested applications: IHC-P, WB
• Dilution range: Western blot: 1-2ug/ml,Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 1-2ug/ml for 30 min at RT
• Application notes: Optimal dilution of the recombinant CD68 antibody should be determined by the researcher.1. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
