Target Details

• Target: CD68
• Target background: CD68 is a 110 kD glycoprotein, also known as macrosialin, belonging to the sialomucin family. It is closely related to the family of acidic, highly glycosylated lysosomal-associated membrane proteins (LAMPs). CD68 is predominately expressed in cytoplasmic granules of monocytes/macrophages, dendritic cells, and granulocytes. It is one of the useful myeloid cell markers. Further studies have shown that CD68 is also expressed by a subset of hematopoietic progenitors, ?/d T cells, NK cells, LAK cells, subset of B cells, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells. The biological function of CD68 is still unknown. Anti-CD68 (Y1/82A) reacted with peripheral blood and bone marrow monocytes and resident macrophages in all tissues tested. Anti-CD68 did not react with other cell types, apart from some osteoclasts and megakaryocytes. This antibody was shown to be useful in characterising monocytic leukaemia's, histiocytic neoplasms and detecting macrophages in disease.
