Target

Relevance

Monocyte and macrophage are white blood cells that roam the body tissues engulfing foreign organisms. A monocyte is a leukocyte, part of the human body's immune system that protects against blood-borne pathogens and moves quickly (aprox. 8-12 hours) to sites of infection in the tissues. Monocytes are usually identified in stained smears by their large bi-lobed nucleus. Macrophages are cells within the tissues that originate from specific white blood cells called monocytes. Monocytes and macrophages are phagocytes, acting in both nonspecific defense (or innate immunity) as well as specific defense (or cell-mediated immunity) of vertebrate animals. Their role is to phagocytize (engulf and then digest) cellular debris and pathogens either as stationary or mobile cells, and to stimulate lymphocytes and other immune cells to respond to the pathogen.

ab33451 staining Monocyte + Macrophage in mouse suprarenal aorta sections by Immunohistonchemistry (Frozen sections).

Serial cryostat sections 7 µm thick were cut from suprarenal aortas with aneurysms prior to staining for inflammatory cells. Serial frozen sections were air-dried, fixed in acetone for 10 minutes at -20°C, air dried and rehydrated with PBS before being incubated in 3% H2O2/0.1% sodium azide/PBS to block endogenous peroxidase. For macrophage detection, sections were blocked in 2% normal goat serum in PBS followed by staining using ab33451. Slides were incubated in the peroxidase substrate 3, 3'-diamminobenzidine, counterstained in Mayer's Haematoxylin, dehydrated, cleared in xylene and mounted in Depex mounting medium.

ab33451 staining Monocyte + Macrophage in Mouse aorta tissue by Immunohistochemistry (Frozen sections). The sections were fixed in acetone prior to blocking with 5% serum for 30 minutes at room temperature. The primary antibody was diluted 1/50 in PBS and incubated with the sample for 1 hour. A FITC-conjugated Rabbit anti-Rat polyclonal was used as the secondary antibody, diluted 1/400.
