Anti-CD68 Antibody [ED1] (A280320)

Anti-CD68 Antibody [ED1]

Mouse monoclonal [ED1] antibody to CD68.

This antibody recognises the rat ED1 antigen, a heavily glycosylated protein of ~90 -110 kDa, also known as rat CD68. The ED1 antigen is expressed on most macrophages populations, as well as on monocytes and is considered as a pan-macrophage marker in the rat. ED1 is expressed predominantly on the lysosomal membrane and lightly on the cell surface. The expression of ED1 antigen being predominantly cytoplasmic , flow cytometry results are improved by the use of a membrane permeabilization procedure, such as Leucoperm, prior to staining.

Mouse anti rat CD68 antibody, clone ED1 recognizes the rat ED1 antigen, a heavily glycosylated protein of ~90 -110 kDa, also known as rat CD68 (Dijkstra et al. 1985).The ED1 antigen is expressed on most macrophages populations, as well as on monocytes and is considered as a pan-macrophage marker in the rat (Damoiseaux et al. 1994).
