Flow Cytometry - Anti-F4/80 antibody [BM8] (AB16911)
Overlay histogram showing HeLa cells stained with ab16911 (red line). The cells were fixed with methanol (5 min) and incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab16911, 1/10 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-rat IgG (Fc) (ab96971) at 1/250 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rat IgG2a [aRTK2758] (ab18450, 2μg/1x106 cells cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed. This antibody gave a significantly decreased signal in HeLa cells fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min) used under the same conditions.
Please note that Abcam does not have data for use of this antibody on non-fixed cells. We welcome any customer feedback.

Immunohistochemistry (Frozen sections) - Anti-F4/80 antibody [BM8] (AB16911)
ab16911 staining mouse spleen tissue sections by immunohistochemistry (frozen sections). Sections were paraformaldehyde fixed without permeabilization and blocked in 1% serum for 10 minutes at 20°C. The primary antibody was used undiluted and incubated with sample for 16 hour at 20°C. A Biotin conjugated goat polyclonal to rat Ig, diluted 1/500 was used as the secondary antibody.

Immunocytochemistry - Anti-F4/80 antibody [BM8] (AB16911)
ab16911 stained RAW246.7 cells. The cells were 100% methanol fixed for 5 minutes at -20°C and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1hour at room temperature to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab16911 at 1in50 dilution) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (pseudo-colored green) was Goat Anti-Rat IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed (ab150165) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1hour at room temperature. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (pseudo-colored red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1hour at room temperature. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (pseudo-colored blue) at a concentration of 1.43μM for 1hour at room temperature.

F4/80 is a well-established marker for murine macrophages, playing a significant role in the immune system. It is involved in various immunological processes, including tissue homeostasis, inflammation, and immune responses. F4/80 is expressed on different macrophage subtypes, which can influence the progression of diseases such as autoimmune disorders, infections, and cancer. Its expression helps in identifying and isolating macrophages for research, aiding in the understanding of their roles in health and disease. It has been recently implicated as a key biomarker in some autoimmune diseases like IBD.
ab16911 is the only macrophage marker that is able to distinguish non-destructive from destructive inflammation prcoesses in the pancreas. Furthermore it is a unique histological marker of the progression from peri-insulitis to beta-cell and diabetes in a mouse diabetes model.

Biological function summary
F4/80 plays a role in modulating the immune response by interacting with other cell surface molecules. While not part of a larger protein complex F4/80 influences macrophage functions such as phagocytosis and cytokine production. Its expression contributes to the regulation of tissue homeostasis and inflammation. The protein is critical in maintaining the macrophage population required for reliable immune surveillance and response to pathogens.
Pathways
F4/80 is an integral part of the immunological and inflammatory signaling pathways. It interacts with TLRs (Toll-like receptors) and other cell surface molecules that sense microbial components therefore helping in the initiation of innate immune responses. F4/80 is connected to proteins like cytokine receptors which play roles in mediating and resolving inflammatory signals important for maintaining balanced immune activity.
