    • Description

      Mouse monoclonal [ED1] to CD68
    • Host species

      Mouse
    • Specificity

      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.

    Target

    • Function

      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.
    • Tissue specificity

      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.
    • Sequence similarities

      Belongs to the LAMP family.
    • Post-translational
      modifications

      N- and O-glycosylated.
    • Cellular localization

      Cell membrane and Endosome membrane. Lysosome membrane.

      Question

      I am interested in using anti-CD68 antibody [ED1] (ab31630) in mouse brain paraffin embedded sections, but am wondering if it is necessary to use a mouse-on-mouse kit for this to work.

      Asked on Feb 12 2013

      Answer

      Since the sample and the host species of this primary antibody is the same (mouse), there is a chance for getting high non-specific background signal.
      You may be able to work around this problem if you apply ABC signal enhancing system which requires Biotin-conjugated secondary antibody.

      Question

      The description indicates for this CD68 antibody says that "Ab31630 recognises a single chain glycoprotein of 110kD," yet the predicted size is 37kDa. Is this correct? I am only detecting a 110kDa band in rat microglia by western blot. (I loaded 8ug/lane, 5% milk TBST 1hr block, ECL detection.)

      Asked on Dec 14 2012

      Answer

      Thank you for your inquiry.

      I can confirm that prediction of the 110 kDa is based on literature references as follows:
      1. Bao, F. et al. (2004) Early anti-inflammatory treatment reduces lipid peroxidation and protein nitration after spinal cord injury in rats. J, Neuro-chem. 88:1335-1344.
      2. Kim H, et al. Increased phosphorylation of caveolin-1 in the spinal cord of irradiated rats. J
      Vet Sci. 2007 Dec;8(4):323-7. PubMed PMID: 17993744
      3. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7821959

      These references show a band of 110kDa (ED1 is the rat homologue of human CD68). Looking at the available literature for Rat CD68 it appears that is accepted that it can appear on a Western blot across a range of 30-110kDa depending on conditions and experimental setup. This is most likely due to doublet and triplet formation although I have been unable to confirm this with referenced material.

      I hope this information is helpful for you. Please do not hesitate to contact me again if you need more information.

      Question

      Hi,   I am interested in the  Anti-CD68 antibody [ED1] (ab31630).  I would be using it on mouse brain tissue and although your online data sheet mentions that it reacts with both mouse and rat, I have not seen a published report on mouse tissue, only rat. I just want to confirm that it does work on mouse before i purchase. Thank you for any information you can offer.
