This product has switched from a hybridoma to recombinant production method on 21st September 2020.
This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:
- - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
- - Improved sensitivity and specificity
- - Long-term security of supply
- - Animal-free production

Western blot - Anti-CD68 antibody [KP1] (ab955)

Anti-CD68 antibody [KP1] (ab955) at 1/1000 dilution + Human spleen lysate at 20 µg

Secondary
Peroxidase-Conjugated Goat anti-Mouse IgG(H+L), Peroxidase conjugated at 1/10000 dilution

Predicted band size: 37 kDa
Observed band size: 110 kDa
why is the actual band size different from the predicted?

Exposure time: 70 seconds

The observed molecular weight is consistent with the literature (PMID:18405323; PMID:11739566; PMID: 16710801).
Immunocytochemistry - Anti-CD68 antibody [KP1] (ab955)

Immunocytochemistry analysis of THP-1 (human monocytic leukemia monocyte) labelling CD28 with ab955 at 1/50 dilution. Cells were fixed with 100% methanol. Goat Anti-mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150113) at 1/1000 was used as the secondary antibody (green). Cells were counterstained with Anti-Tubulin antibody (rabbit mAb), ab179504 - AlexaFluor®594 Goat anti- Rabbit secondary, ab150080 at 1/500 dilution (red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (blue).

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of Human liver tissue labelling CD68 with ab955 at 1/3000 dilution. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed using Tris/EDTA buffer pH 9. ab93684 a Goat Anti-mouse IgG H&L (HRP) was used as the secondary antibody. Negative control using PBS instead of primary antibody. Counterstained with hematoxylin.

ab955 staining CD68 in human liver tissue by Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections).

Tissue was fixed with paraformaldehyde. Samples were then blocked with 10% serum for 3 hours at 22°C followed by incubation with the primary antibody at a 1/100 dilution for 16 hours at 4°C. An Alexa-Fluor^® 568 conjugated goat anti-mouse polyclonal was used as secondary antibody at a 1/400 dilution.

ab955 staining CD68 in human ulcerated oral (Mucosa/Bone) tissue sections by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P - paraformaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections).

Tissue was fixed with paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton-X 100 in PBS and blocked with 2.5% serum for 90 minutes at 25°C; antigen retrieval was by heat mediation in citrate buffer (pH 6). Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/500 in 1% serum in PBS +0.01% Triton-X 100) for 16 hours at 4°C. A commercial IHC kit and DAB was used to visualize the staining.
