Product Name :
CD68 (KP1) Macrophages, human

Description :
| Clone KP1 | Isotype IgG1, k | Units 0.5 ml | Host Mouse | Application Immunohistochemistry (frozen) Immunohistochemistry (paraffin)

Background :
Immunogen: Subcellular fraction of human alveolar macrophages

Source :
The antibody KP1 is well suited for the detection of tissue macrophages including Kupffer cells and spleen macrophages. CD68 is expressed on macrophages and monocytes. KP-1 is important for identifying macrophages in tissue sections. It stains macrophages in a wide variety of human tissues, including Kupffer cells and macrophages in the red pulp of the spleen, in lamina propria of the gut, in lung alveoli, and in bone marrow. KP-1 reacts with myeloid precursors and peripheral blood granulocytes. It also reacts with plasmacytoid T cells which are supposed to be of monocyte/macrophage origin. It shows strong granular cytoplasmic staining of chronic and acute myeloid leukemia and also reacts with rare cases of true histiocytic neoplasia. Tumors of lymphoid origin are usually not stained. CD68 transmembran glycoprotein MW 110 kDa, localised in macrophages. <

Antibodies are immunoglobulins secreted by effector lymphoid B cells into the bloodstream. Antibodies consist of two light peptide chains and two heavy peptide chains that are linked to each other by disulfide bonds to form a “Y” shaped structure. Both tips of the “Y” structure contain binding sites for a specific antigen. Antibodies are commonly used in medical research, pharmacological research, laboratory research, and health and epidemiological research. They play an important role in hot research areas such as targeted drug development, in vitro diagnostic assays, characterization of signaling pathways, detection of protein expression levels, and identification of candidate biomarkers.
