This Antibody was verified by Cell treatment to ensure that the antibody binds to the antigen stated.
FIGURE: 1 / 4
Heat-mediated antigen retrieval using Tris/EDTA (pH 8) is recommended for the staining of paraffin sections. The epitope recognized by clone 514H12 is sensitive to peroxide and so any peroxidase-blocking steps should be performed after incubation with this antibody. A suggested positive control for immunohistochemical applications is human tonsil.
Mouse anti Human CD68 antibody, clone 514H12 recognizes the human CD68 cell surface antigen, a approximately 110 kDa glycoprotein primarily expressed by macrophages and monocytes.
CD68 (Macrosialin) is a 110 kDa integral membrane glycoprotein predominantly expressed on the intracellular lysomsomes of monocytes and macrophages and to a lesser extent by dendritic cells and peripheral blood granulocytes. Also, CD68 could play a role in phagocytic activities of tissue macrophages, both in intracellular lysosomal metabolism and extracellular cell-cell and cell-pathogen interactions. CD68 is expressed by interdigitating reticulum cells in tonsil and some histiocytic lymphoma or histiocytosis, acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and granulocytic sarcoma. Elevated expression of CD68 has been demonstrated on CD34+ cells in various human malignancies, including several Acute Myeloid Leukemia studies.
