- Specificity
- CD68 Antibody (Cat#BM4000) recognises a single chain glycoprotein of 110 kDa that is expressed predominantly on the lysosomal membrane of myeloid cells. Weak cell surface expression also occurs. The antigen is expressed by the majority of tissue macrophages and weakly by peripheral blood granulocytes.
- Cross-Reactivity (Details)
- Species reactivity (tested):Rat.
- Purification
- Affinity Chromatography on Protein G
- Immunogen
- Rat spleen cells. Spleen cells from immunised BALB/c mice were fused with cells of the SP2/0-Ag14 mouse myeloma cell line.

- Background
- The CD68 antigen is a 37kD transmembrane protein that is post-translationally glycosylated to give a protein of 87-115kD. CD68 is specifically expressed by tissue macrophages, Langerhans cells and at low levels by dendritic cells. It could play a role in phagocytic activities of tissue macrophages, both in intracellular lysosomal metabolism and extracellular cell-cell and cell-pathogen interactions. It binds to tissue- and organ-specific lectins or selectins, allowing homing of macrophage subsets to particular sites. Rapid recirculation of CD68 from endosomes and lysosomes to the plasma membrane may allow macrophages to crawl over selectin bearing substrates or other cells.Synonyms: Gp110, Macrophage marker, Macrosialin
