Its expression is commonly used to identify and characterize macrophages in various tissues and disease states. The GenieFluor 488 Anti-Human CD68 Antibody (Y1/82A) enables researchers to visualize and quantify CD68-positive cells with exceptional sensitivity and precision, facilitating detailed investigations into immune cell populations in both normal and pathological conditions.
With its high specificity and reliability, this antibody is a valuable tool for studies in immunology, inflammation, infectious diseases, and cancer research. By offering unparalleled insights into the dynamics of CD68-expressing cells, the GenieFluor 488 Anti-Human CD68 Antibody (Y1/82A) empowers scientists to deepen their understanding of immune responses and develop innovative therapeutic strategies targeted at modulating macrophage function in various disease contexts.
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by flow cytometric analysis. The amount of the reagent is suggested to be used 5 µL of antibody per test (million cells in 100 µL staining volume or per 100 µL of whole blood). Please check your vial before the experiment. Since applications vary, the appropriate dilutions must be determined for individual use.

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, γ/δ T cells, NK cells, LAK cells, subset of B cells, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells. The biological function of CD68 is still unknown.
