Basic Information | |
Specificity | This antibody recognises human CD68 antigen. CD68 is a membrane glycoprotein highly expressed in monocytes and macrophages. It is involved in phagocytosis, lysosomal metabolism and interactions with pathogens and other cells. |
Alternative Name | Macrosialin; Gp110; DKFZp686M18236; SCARD1; scavenger receptor class D, member 1; SRD1; SR-D1; CD68 molecule; CD68 antigen; Macrophage Antigen CD68; Y-2/131 |
UniProt | P34810 |
Immunogen | This antbody was raised by immunising mice with phytohaemagglutinin-activated peripheral blood mononuclear cells. |
Application Notes | IP: Y-2/131/47 antibody was used for immunoprecipitation from the material from spleen membranes (Micklem et al., 1989). ICC: This antibody was also used in immunocytochemical staining of acute promyelocytic leukaemia cells in order to establish a characteristic phenotype of the diseased cells and develop a potential diagnostic tool of this disorder (Erber et al., 1994). |
