CD68 antibody | Ki-M7


In immunohistochemical studies, CD68 can be used to aid in the identification of blastic NK lymphomas, some B cell lymphomas, and to help diagnose disorders relating to macrophage abnormalities, including malignant histocytosis and Gaucher’s disease.
Clone Ki-M7 has also been reported as being suitable for use in immunoprecipitation studies.
