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
modificationsN- and O-glycosylated. -
Cellular localization
Cell membrane and Endosome membrane. Lysosome membrane. - Information by UniProt

10-color fluorescence multiplex immunohistochemical analysis of human lung cancer tissue (formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded section).
Merged staining of anti-FOXP3 (ab215206; Cyan; TG540N), anti-PD1 (ab52587; Red; TG700N), anti-CD163 (ab182422; Brown; TG650N), anti-HLA-DR (ab92511; Yellow; TG570N), anti-CD4 (ab133616; Violet; TG620N), anti-CD8 alpha (ab101500; Purple; TG540S), anti-CD20 (ab9475; Grey; TG660S), anti-CD68 (ab192847; Green; TG520N), anti-Cytokeratin 19 (ab52625; Light blue; TG440N). TG470SN (dark blue) was used as a nuclear counter stain. The inset image shows the separate CD68 signal.
The section was incubated in nine rounds of staining; in the order of ab215206 (1/100 dilution), ab52587 (1/200 dilution), ab182422 (1/300 dilution), ab92511 (1/200 dilution), ab133616 (1/600 dilution), ab101500 (1/300 dilution), ab9475 (1/100 dilution), ab192847 (1/300 dilution), ab52625 (1/400 dilution); each using a separate fluorescent tyramide signal amplification system.
Sodium citrate antigen retrieval (pH6.0) was used in between rounds of tyramide signal amplification to remove the antibody from the previous round, to avoid any cross-reactivity.
Image acquisition was performed with TissueFAXS Spectra (TissueGnostics).

Multiplex immunohistochemistry - Anti-CD68 antibody [SP251] (ab192847)Fluorescence multiplex immunohistochemical analysis of normal human tonsil tissue (formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded section).
Merged staining of anti-PD1 (ab237728; orange; Opal™520), anti-PDL1 (ab237726; green; Opal™540), anti-CD68 (ab192847; yellow; Opal™570), anti-CD3 (ab16669; red; Opal™620), anti-Ki67 (ab16667; light blue; Opal™650) and anti-PanCK (ab7753; grey; Opal™690).
The immunostaining was performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument with an Opal™ 7-color automation IHC kit (NEL821001KT, Akoya Biosciences®).
The section was incubated in six rounds of staining; in the order of ab237728 (1/500 dilution), ab237726 (1/500 dilution), ab192847 (1/300 dilution), ab16669 (1/300 dilution), ab16667 (1/200 dilution) and ab7753 (1/200 dilution); each using a separate fluorescent tyramide signal amplification system.
Sodium citrate antigen retrieval (Leica ER1, pH6.0, 30 minutes) was used in between rounds of tyramide signal amplification to remove the antibody from the previous round, to avoid any cross-reactivity.
DAPI (dark blue) was used as a nuclear counter stain.
Microscopy and pseudocoloring of individual Opal™ dyes was performed using a Vectra Polaris.
