CD68 is a highly glycosylated protein, and its expected western blot molecular weight is between 80kDa to 110kDa, depending on glycosylation level. PA1518’s observed MW in WB is near 90-100kDa. Testing on negative control tissues showed no significant bands (images available on request) or staining. See more info in the positive and negative control design section. Based on immunogen sequence homology, this antibody is not expected to cross react with other proteins from the LAMP family, which complies with QC testing observations. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"text-grey\" mb-2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGreat for CD68 IHC:\u003c\/strong\u003e This antibody produces clean and specific immunobiological stains in both mouse and rat tissues.

Only our best-performing antibodies are designated as Picoband, ensuring unmatched performance.\u003cp\u003eCD68 is a heavily glycosylated glycoprotein that is highly expressed in macrophages and other mononuclear phagocytes. Macrosialin, if not glycosylated, has the main sequence that consists of 354 amino acids with an expected molecular weight of 37.4 kD. CD68, which can be located in the cytoplasmic granules of a variety of blood cells and myocytes, can be detected via immunohistochemistry. It's particularly effective as a marker for monocytes, histiocytes, giant cells, Kupffer cells, and osteoclasts, all of which belong to the macrophage lineage. CD68 is expressed in tissue macrophages and to a lesser extent in dendritic cells. CD68 is involved in tissue macrophage phagocytic activities, as well as intracellular lysosomal metabolism and extracellular cell-cell and cell-pathogen interactions. It works by binding to tissue and organ-specific lectins or selectins, enabling macrophage subsets to be ed to specific locations. Macrophages may be able to crawl over selectin-bearing substrates or other cells if CD68 is rapidly recirculated from endosomes and lysosomes to the plasma membrane.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSupplier\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBoster Bio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eABMIUM evidence status\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eABMIUM Verified™ collaborator-tested data\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCatalogue reference\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePA1518\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct category\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary Antibodies\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eReactive species\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMouse, Rat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTested applications\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eELISA, Flow Cytometry, IF\/ICC, IHC, IHC-P, WB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAvailable conjugations\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnconjugated, Biotin, Cy3, Fluoro488, Fluoro550, Fluoro594, FITC, HRP, APC, PE, Fluoro647\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGene name\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCD68\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProtein name\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMacrosialin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecificity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo cross reactivity with other proteins.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eImmunogen\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence in the middle region of mouse CD68, different from the related rat sequence by one amino acid.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHost\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRabbit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eClonality\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolyclonal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eIsotype\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRabbit IgG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePurification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImmunogen affinity purified.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStorage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStore at -20℃ for one year from date of receipt.
