| Description: | <p class=text-grey mb-2><strong>Superstar antibody:</strong> Boster�s anti mouse CD68 antibody (PA1518) is among its top 10 bestselling antibodies, and one of the most cited mouse/rat CD68 antibodies on the market. Because of this antibody�s high demand, we have subsequently developed <a href=/anti-cd68-rabbit-monoclonal-antibody-m00602-1-boster.html target=_blank>a rabbit monoclonal anti CD68 antibody (M00602-1)</a> targetting a similar epitope.</p> <p class=text-grey mb-2><strong>High specificity:</strong> PA1518 reacts with murine macrosialin/CD68, and has been validated with Western blotting and confirmed its stellar specificity. CD68 is a highly glycosylated protein, and its expected western blot molecular weight is between 80kDa to 110kDa, depending on glycosylation level. PA1518�s observed MW in WB is near 90-100kDa. Testing on negative control tissues showed no significant bands (images available on request) or staining. See more info in the positive and negative control design section. Based on immunogen sequence homology, this antibody is not expected to cross react with other proteins from the LAMP family, which complies with QC testing observations. </p> <p class=text-grey mb-2><strong>Great for CD68 IHC:</strong> This antibody produces clean and specific immunobiological stains in both mouse and rat tissues. Our QC team has validated it on spleen and liver tissues of both mice and rats.

It is a transmembrane protein that binds to electins and selectins and plays a role in macrophage homing movement.
