Application Notes
|
Immunohistochemistry on frozen sections: 0.5u g/ml (1:400). Fixation: Acetone (10 minutes at 4°C), 2 % periodate-lysine-paraformaldehyde 4 hours. Antigen Distribution: Isolated cells: Positive on >90% of alveolar macrophages, and on 10% of adherent peritoneal cells after 1 day culture Negative on freshly isolated blood monocytes, on freshly isolated peritoneal cells, and on bone marrow cells including monocytes, myelomonocytic precursors and megakaryocytes. Tissue sections: PM-2K stains most tissue macrophages in lymphoreticular organs such as thymus, spleen, lymph node and tonsil. It is positive on Kupffer cells of the liver, alveolar macrophages and macrophages in the interstitial tissues of the kidney, pancreas and many other organs. In Gaucher's disease multicentric reticulohistiocytosis and malignant histiocytosis proliferating macrophages are positive. In MFH infiltrating macrophages are stained but not tumor cells. Some bone stromal cells but not osteoclast-like multinucleated giant cells are stained in GCT. Microglial cells, osteoclasts and dendritic cells such as Langerhans cells, interdigitating cells and follicular dendritic cells are negative.
