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.

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.
