Activity summary

F4/80 also known as Emr1 (Epidermal growth factor module-containing mucin-like hormone receptor 1) is a well-characterized surface protein with a mass of approximately 160 kDa. This protein is recognized as a marker for murine macrophages. F4/80 is heavily expressed on cells of the monocyte and macrophage lineage particularly in tissue-resident macrophages found in organs like the liver spleen and lung. Its expression is vital for identifying macrophages in various types of immunological studies including F4/80 staining and macrophage marker analysis.

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.

Associated diseases and disorders

F4/80 is associated with conditions like chronic inflammation and autoimmune disorders. Its expression levels can often correlate with disease state impacting diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and liver fibrosis. In these conditions F4/80 interacts with proteins like TNF-alpha and IL-1beta which are involved in inflammatory processes. Understanding F4/80's role can help uncover therapeutic targets aimed at modulating macrophage functions to treat these disorders effectively.

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-F4/80 antibody [SP115] (ab111101)

    Representative immunostaining of F4/80-positive macrophages in the distal colon from healthy and colitic mice treated with and without enoxaparin.

    For immunohistochemical staining, antigen retrieval was performed by incubating the sections for 10 minutes at 97°C in 1 mM EDTA buffer, pH 8 or 10 mM citrate buffer, pH 6. Activity of endogenous peroxidase was blocked by incubating sections with 3% v/v hydrogen for 20 minutes. Sections were then washed with 0.05 M Tris-buffered saline containing 0.5% v/v Tween 20 (TBST), pH 7.6. Subsequently, sections were incubated with serum-free protein block for 10 minutes. Colon sections were then incubated with primary antibody ab111101 at 1/100 dilution overnight at 4°C or room temperature for 1 hour. Sections were then washed 3 x 5 minutes and allowed to react with secondary antibody: anti-rabbit immunoglobulin C conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (HRP) (Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) preadsorbed ab7090) at 1/300 dilution at room temperature for 1 hour.

    Scale bar = 100 μm for 400 x magnification. Control, C; untreated colitis, DSS; oral enoxaparin, OE; intraperitoneal injection of enoxaparin, IPE.

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-F4/80 antibody [SP115] (ab111101)

    Representative images of (A) M1 macrophages (F4/80+ and iNOS+) and (B) M2 macrophages (F4/80+ and CD206+) using colon tissue from n = 3–5 mice. F4/80 positive cells were visualized using Alexa Fluor 594-conjugated goat anti-rat IgG (red). Nuclei were stained with 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI, blue).

    Scale bar = 50 μm for 400 × magnification. Control, C; untreated colitis, DSS; colitis with oral enoxaparin, DSS+OE.

    For immunofluorescence staining, sections were dewaxed and rehydrated before antigen retrieval using 10 mM citrate buffer, pH 6 for 15 minutes at 97°C. Sections were incubated with serum-free protein block and permeabilized with 0.4% v/v Triton-X at room temperature for 30 minutes. Sections were incubated with primary antibodies anti-F4/80 (Anti-F4/80 antibody [BM8] ab16911) at 1/25 dilution overnight at 4°C or at room temperature for 1 hour. Sections were washed with TBST 3 × 10 minutes and incubated with species-specific secondary antibodies: anti-rat IgG H&L AlexaFluor 594 (Goat Anti-Rat IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594) ab150160, Abcam, 1:1000) and anti-rabbit IgG H&L AlexaFluor 488 (A11070{"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"A11070","term_id":"490922","term_text":"A11070"}}, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Melbourne, Australia, 1:1000) at room temperature for 2 hours. Sections were rinsed with TBST 3 × 10 minutes, followed by a quick wash with distilled water before mounting using Glycerol Mounting Medium (Abcam) that contained 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) and 1,4-diazobicyclo-2,2,2-octane (DABCO). Labelled tissues were visualized using a Leica DM LB2 microscope. Fluorescence images (400 × magnification) were captured using NIS-Elements 4.13 (Nikon) software.
