Multiplex immunohistochemistry - Anti-CD68 antibody [EPR20545] (AB213363)

Multiplex immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of human liver tissue.

Panel A : Merged staining of Collagen VI (ab182744; green) anti-CD68 (ab213363; red) and anti-Lamin B1 (ab229025; magenta).

Panel B : Anti-Collagen VI (green) stained on extracellular matrix.

Panel C : Anti-CD68 (red) stained on Kupffer cells.

Panel D : Anti-Lamin B1 (magenta) stained on nuclear envelope.

Key protocol steps : The section was incubated in three rounds of staining with ab182744 (1/1000 dilution) ab213363 (1/1000 dilution) and ab229025 (1/4000 dilution) for 30 mins at room temperature. Each round was followed by tyramide signal amplification with the appropriate fluorophore. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was used (Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0 epitope retrieval solution 2) for 20 mins after every round of antibody/fluorophore staining.

The immunostaining was performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument.

DAPI was used as a nuclear counter stain. A ready-to-use anti-Rabbit and Mouse Polymer HRP was used as a secondary.

Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris/EDTA buffer pH 9.0 before commencing with IHC staining protocol.

Target Information
CD68 is a transmembrane glycoprotein primarily found on macrophages, essential for phagocytosis and antigen presentation. It plays a role in various pathological conditions, such as neuroinflammatory diseases, by clearing cellular debris and modulating immune responses. CD68 expression is linked to several diseases involving macrophage activity, including cancer, neuroinflammation, granular cell tumor, and histiocytic sarcoma.

Supplementary information

CD68 is a glycoprotein that functions as a scavenger receptor. It plays an important role in the regulation of cellular debris and apoptotic cell clearance. Researchers often refer to it as KP1 or macrosialin in the literature. CD68 with a molecular weight of approximately 110 kDa is highly expressed in macrophages and monocytes. The mucin-like structure of CD68 allows it to be heavily glycosylated which aids in its function. Researchers detect CD68 in tissues through methods like immunohistochemistry (IHC) immunofluorescence and CD68 staining and it is widely used as a macrophage marker in research.
Biological function summary

CD68 facilitates functions associated with the innate immune response. It serves as an important part of macrophages which contribute to immune surveillance and tissue homeostasis. Though it primarily operates on its own in some contexts CD68 might assist in forming complexes with other receptors to modulate phagocytic activity. This target is significant in atherosclerotic plaque stability as macrophages engulf lipids and cell debris through processes facilitated by CD68.

Pathways

CD68 is involved in pathways connected to inflammation and phagocytosis. The CD68 protein works closely with other scavenger receptors like CD36 to mediate uptake of oxidized low-density lipoproteins (oxLDL) in the lipid metabolism pathway. Additionally CD68 engagement can influence the toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling pathways thereby linking innate immunity and inflammatory responses critical for host defense and disease progression.

CD68 is associated with atherosclerosis and multiple sclerosis. In atherosclerosis its role becomes evident as it accumulates in macrophages within the plaques making it a marker of disease severity. In multiple sclerosis CD68 expression in macrophages and microglia indicates active demyelination and inflammation. It also relates to proteins such as CD36 in atherosclerosis where both mediate the uptake of modified LDL contributing to foam cell formation in plaques.

Target data

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.
