Anti-CD68 antibody [ED1]
See all CD68 products (17) ...
Mouse monoclonal [ED1] to CD68
Ab31630 recognises a single chain glycoprotein of 110kD that is expressed predominantly on the lysosomal membrane of myeloid cells. Weak cell surface expression also occurs. The antigen is expressed by the majority of tissue macrophages and weakly by peripheral blood granulocytes. Studies have shown that the antigen recognised by ED1 is the rat homologue of human CD68.

Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab31630 in the following tested applications.
The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
Flow Cyt: 1/50 - 1/100.(Use 10µl of the suggested working dilution to label 106 cells in 100µl.)
IHC-Fr: Use at an assay dependent dilution.
IP: Use at an assay dependent dilution.
WB: Use at an assay dependent dilution. Predicted molecular weight: 37 kDa.
RIA: Use at an assay dependent dilution.
ICC: Use at an assay dependent dilution.
IHC-P: 1/100Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval before commencing with IHC staining protocol.(Alternatively protein digestion with trypsin or pronase prior to IHC protocol could be preformed.)
Could play a role in phagocytic activities of tissue macrophages, both in intracellular lysosomal metabolism and extracellular cell-cell and cell-pathogen interactions. Binds to tissue- and organ-specific lectins or selectins, allowing homing of macrophage subsets to particular sites. Rapid recirculation of CD68 from endosomes and lysosomes to the plasma membrane may allow macrophages to crawl over selectin-bearing substrates or other cells.
Highly expressed by blood monocytes and tissue macrophages. Also expressed in lymphocytes, fibroblasts and endothelial cells. Expressed in many tumor cell lines which could allow them to attach to selectins on vascular endothelium, facilitating their dissemination to secondary sites.
Belongs to the LAMP family.
N- and O-glycosylated.
Cell membrane and Endosome membrane. Lysosome membrane.

ab31630 staining CD68 in rat liver tissue sections by Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections). Tissue was fixed with formaldehyde and a heat mediated antigen retrieval step was performed using Citrate buffer pH6. Samples were then blocked with 1% BSA for 10 minutes at 21°C followed by incubation with the primary antibody at a 1/800 dilution, for 2 hours at 21°C. A biotin-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG polyclonal was used as secondary antibody at a 1/200 dilution.

ab31630 staining CD68 in rat kidney tissue sections by Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections). Tissue was fixed with formaldehyde and a heat mediated antigen retrieval step was performed using Citrate buffer. Samples were then blocked with 10% serum for 1 hour at 4°C followed by incubation with the primary antibody at a 1/200 dilution, for 12 hours at 4°C. A biotin-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG polyclonal was used as secondary antibody at a 1/100 dilution.

ab31630 staining CD68 in mouse liver tissue by Immunohistochemistry (Frozen sections). The sections were fixed in Acetone prior to blocking with 5% serum for 30 minutes at 25°C. The primary antibody was diluted 1/200 in PBS and incubated with the sample for 1 hour 30 minutes. A Biotin-conjugated Rabbit anti-Mouse polyclonal was used as the secondary antibody, diluted 1/250.
