Reactivity: Human (QC Testing)
Application: Intracellular staining (flow cytometry) (Routinely Tested)
Regulatory Status: RUO
RRID: AB_396345
Description: Description Reacts with a 110 kDa-type I-transmembrane glycoprotein expressed in cytoplasmic granules of monocytes/macrophages, dendritic cells, granulocytes, myeloid progenitor cells and, reportedly, a subset of CD34+ hemopoietic bone marrow progenitor cells.  CD68 belongs to the sialomucin family and its function has not been fully elucidated.  This antibody could be useful in studies of myeloid cell development.
Preparation And Storage: Preparation And Storage The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated with R-PE under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free PE were removed. Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.
Recommended Assay Procedures: Recommended Assay Procedures We recommend the use of Cytofix/Cytoperm (Cat. No. 554714) for the cells fixation and permeabilization, and then do the intracellular staining.
