The best known mouse microglia and macrophage marker
F4/80 antibody - clone CI:A3-1 (MCA497), is a well-characterized and extensively referenced mouse macrophage marker. Also known as Ly71 and EMR1, the F4/80 antigen is part of the EGF-TM7 family, it is a 160 kDa glycoprotein that shares 68% amino acid identity with human EGF-like module-containing mucin-like hormone receptor-like 1 (EMR1).
"Bio-Rad produces most cited physiology antibody [F4/80 Clone CI:A3-1]"
F4/80 antigen is a mature mouse cell surface glycoprotein expressed at high levels on various macrophages including: Kupffer cells, splenic red pulp macrophages, microglia, gut lamina propria, and Langerhans cells in the skin. F4/80 antigen is also expressed on the macrophages of the connective tissue, heart, kidney, reproductive, and neuroendocrine systems.
Did you know?
F4/80 antibody (MCA497, clone CI:A3-1) is the original and the best:
- High specificity - shown to be highly targeted for all mouse macrophages
- Added versatility for microglial cells - unlike many other macrophage markers F4/80 is present on microglia which makes it perfect for detecting and isolating these cells in neurological research
- Original with pedigree - the anti F4/80 antibody is derived from Clone CI:A3, this clone is the original anti F4/80 antigen with an established heritage going back to 1981 when data was first published. Since then there have been hundreds of citations, with over 900 listed on CiteAb
