Product Data

• Clone Name: FA-11
• Applications: FC
• Recommended Dilution: Flow Cytometry: Use 10 µl of neat antibody to label 10⁶ cells in 100 µl (Membrane permeabilisation is required) .
  Rat anti mouse CD68 antibody, clone FA-11, has been used in many mouse models for the identification of CD68 in immunohistochemical studies, using both frozen and paraffin-embedded tissues ( Masaki et al. 2003) and Devey et al. 2009).
  Rat anti mouse CD68 antibody, clone FA-11 can be used in flow cytometry to detect intracellular CD68, following permeabilization, and can detect surface macrosialin at low levels in resident mouse peritoneal macrophages which can be enhanced with thioglycollate stimulation.

• Background: Macrosialin is a heavily glycosylated transmembrane protein of 87-115kD, which is specifically expressed by tissue macrophages, Langerhans cells and at low levels by dendritic cells. Macrosialin is the murine homologue of the human macrophage glycoprotein CD68, both are members of the lysosomal-associated membrane protein (lamp) family which are located predominantly within the cells and can be detected by flow cytometry using cell permeablisation.
• Synonyms: Gp110, Macrosialin, Macrophage marker
