Anti-CD68 Antibody [ED1] (FITC) (A280318)

Anti-CD68 Antibody [ED1] (FITC)

Mouse monoclonal [ED1] antibody to CD68 (FITC).

This antibody recognises the rat ED1 antigen, a heavily glycosylated protein of ~90 -110 kDa, also known as rat CD68. The ED1 antigen is expressed on most macrophages populations, as well as on monocytes and is considered as a pan-macrophage marker in the rat. ED1 is expressed predominantly on the lysosomal membrane and lightly on the cell surface. The expression of ED1 antigen being predominantly cytoplasmic , flow cytometry results are improved by the use of a membrane permeabilization procedure, such as Leucoperm, prior to staining.
