The Rabbit Monoclonal anti-Iba1 antibody (Clone AIF1-8970R) (ABIN7868161) specifically detects Iba1 in IHC (p).
The antibody is reactive with Human samples.
A recombinant partial protein sequence (within amino acids 1-146) from the human protein was used as the immunogen for the Allograft inflammatory factor 1 antibody.
AIF1 is a cytoplasmic, calcium-binding protein that is thought to play a role in macrophage activation and function. AIF1, containing two EF domains, is induced by cytokines and Interferons. In an unstimulated state, AIF1 colocalizes with actin, and upon stimulation, translocates to lamellipodia. It is also a marker of human microglia and is expressed by macrophages in injured skeletal muscle. The gene encoding AIF1 resides in the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) cluster of genes, located in the region represented by the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC).
