CD68 antibody | 514H12
Mouse anti Human CD68 antibody, clone 514H12 (MCA1815) used to identify macrophages in human peritoneal tissue by immunofluorescence on cryostat sections.
Image caption:
Triple immunofluorescence costaining of frozen right peritoneal tissues were stained with CD68 (red), CD31 (blue), and keratin (CK) (green) antibodies (Rows 1 & 2) Row 1, peritoneal cells from a patient with EOC (ID 266 m) appear yellow from the colocalization of CD68 (red) and CK (green) on some surface mesothelial cells. CD31 staining (blue) indicates endothelial cells just under the mesothelium. Row 2, peritoneal cells from a patient with benign cystic teratoma of the ovary (ID 283b) show prominent staining for keratin in the single cell mesothelial layer but no staining for CD68 staining (red) and positive staining for endothelial cells (blue). Rows 3 and 4, peritoneal cells from patient ID#235 showed colocalization of CD68 (blue) and CD163 (green) appearing cyan color; CD68 (blue) and CXCL8 (red) costaining showed magenta effect and no color changed in CD163+ cells (green). Images were analyzed by confocal laser scanning microscopy (magnification 400×). H&E stained sections are shown for comparison.

Mouse anti Human CD68 antibody, clone 514H12 (MCA1815) used to identify macrophages in human peritoneal tissue by immunofluorescence on ascitic fluid cytospins.
Image caption:
Stained cytospin preps of mononuclear leukocytes isolated from ascitic fluid on F:H density cushion (patient ID 290; top row) or from frozen tissue (patient ID 235; bottom row) were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and double-stained with phospho-cPLA2 (Ser505) antibody (red) and CD68 (green) or CD163 (green). Indirect immunofluorescence showed pcPLA2 in both the nucleus and cytoplasm, and results were similar in the cells from ascites and those from tissue. Cells costained for CD68 and cPLA2 showed colocalization of both markers in the cytoplasm and in the nucleus (yellow). However, in CD163+ cells, cPLA2 was seen only in relation to the nucleus.

Prominent myeloid clusters associated with anthracosis and elevated STAT3 activity in NSCLC uninvolved LNs.
(A) HE staining of normal LNs from individuals without cancer (n = 4; left two panels) and uninvolved regional LNs from NSCLC patients (middle two panels) showing anthracotic carbon pigment (indicated with arrows; Scale bar, 20 μm) in patient LNs. Immunofluorescent staining for CD68 (right panel) demonstrating anthracotic pigment is within CD68+ cells (Note the black dots indicated with small arrows in CD68+ cells; Scale bar, 20 μm).

- 1This product requires antigen retrieval using heat treatment prior to staining of paraffin sections. Tris/EDTA buffer pH 9.0 is recommended for this purpose. N.B. The epitope recognised by clone 514H12 is sensitive to peroxide. It is therefore recommended that any peroxidase-blocking steps be performed after incubation with this antibody.
Where this antibody has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. Suggested working dilutions are given as a guide only. It is recommended that the user titrates the antibody for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
