Extra Details:
CD68, cluster of differentiation, is a 110-kD transmembrane glycoprotein that is highly expressed by human monocytes and tissue macrophages. CD68 is a member of a family of hematopoietic mucin-like molecules that includes leukosialin/CD43 and stem cell antigen CD34. The CD68 gene is mapped to 17p13.1. Immunohistochemistry can be used to identify the presence of CD68, which is found in the cytoplasmic granules of a range of different blood cells. It is particularly useful as a marker for the various cells of the macrophage lineage, including monocytes, histiocytes, giant cells, Kupffer cells, and osteoclasts. This allows it to be used to distinguish diseases of otherwise similar appearance, such as the monocyte/macrophage and lymphoid forms of leukaemia (the latter being CD68 negative). Its presence in macrophages also makes it useful in diagnosing conditions related to proliferation or abnormality of these cells, such as malignant histiocytosis, histiocytic lymphoma, and Gaucher's disease. This antibody is suitable for researchers interested in cancer research.
Formulation:
0.9mg NaCl, 0.2mg Na2HPO4, 0.05mg NaN3
Host:
Rabbit
Immunogen:
CD68 affinity purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to an internal region of mouse CD68.
Isotype:
IgG
Physical State:
Lyophilized
Reactivities:
Mouse, Rat
Shipping Conditions:
Ambient
Specificity:
Anti-CD68 antibody is directed against mouse CD68 protein supplied in the buffer above with 4mg trehalose. The product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity purification. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest reactivity with this protein from mouse and rat based on homology for the immunogen sequence. Cross reactivity with CD68 from other sources has not been determine
Storage Conditions:
-20[o]C aliquoted. Aliquot. Avoid freeze/thaw cycles.
