Background of CD68
CD68, cluster of differentiation, is a 110-kD transmembrane glycoprotein that is highly expressed by human monocytes and tissue macrophages. CD68 is a member of a family of hematopoietic mucin-like molecules that includes leukosialin/CD43 and stem cell antigen CD34. The CD68 gene is mapped to 17p13.1. Immunohistochemistry can be used to identify the presence of CD68, which is found in the cytoplasmic granules of a range of different blood cells. It is particularly useful as a marker for the various cells of the macrophage lineage, including monocytes, histiocytes, giant cells, Kupffer cells, and osteoclasts. This allows it to be used to distinguish diseases of otherwise similar appearance, such as the monocyte/macrophage and lymphoid forms of leukaemia (the latter being CD68 negative). Its presence in macrophages also makes it useful in diagnosing conditions related to proliferation or abnormality of these cells, such as malignant histiocytosis, histiocytic lymphoma, and Gaucher's disease.

Coordination of the hepatocyte IL-1β transcription-translation-mature tRNAome axis by monocytes . A Representative images of monocytes (light microscopy and hematoxylin staining). The identification of monocytes was confirmed by a rabbit anti-CD68 polyclonal antibody (green), and the results were compared with those of DEFs. DAPI was used for nuclear staining. B The impact of monocytes on the transcription of proinflammatory cytokines in infected hepatocytes. The hepatocytes were cocultured with a total of 5.0 × 10 6 PMBCs per well or with the corresponding monocytes derived from the same number of PBMCs. A total of 2.0 × 10 7 copies per well of DHAV were subsequently used. Samples were collected at 24 hpc. RT‒qPCR was used to quantify the expression of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α compared with that in uninfected DPHs ( n = 3). Statistical significance was determined via unpaired t tests; *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01; ***, p < 0.001. C The impact of PBMCs or monocytes on the 23 selected tRNAs in infected DPHs. The tRNA data were normalized to those of the uninfected DPHs ( n = 3). D Western blotting of the IL-1β protein in infected DPHs cocultured with PBMCs or monocytes at 24 hpc, with the same number of cells used as in panel B. The gray value of the IL-1β protein was then quantitatively evaluated via ImageJ software. E Dynamic changes in the expression of IL-1β mRNA in DHAV-infected DPHs cocultured with monocytes from 12 to 48 hpc ( n = 3). DHAV-infected DPHs lacking monocyte coculture were used as a control, and uninfected DPHs were used as a negative control for gene normalization. F Dynamic changes in the 23 selected tRNAs in DPHs cocultured with monocytes. The tRNA data were normalized to those of the uninfected DPHs ( n = 3). G Western blotting of IL-1β in infected DPHs during different durations of coculture with monocytes (12 hpc, 24 hpc, and 48 hpc). The amount of IL-1β protein was determined by analysing the gray value via ImageJ software.

1 Reviews For Anti-CD68 Antibody
Immunofluorescence analysis using the Anti-CD68 antibody (A00602-1) on human normal and preterm placenta showed minimal CD68 expression in normal samples and abundant expression in preterm inflamed samples, consistent with expected results.
Excellent

| SKU | A00602-1 |
|---|---|
| Application | Immunofluorescence |
| Sample | human normal and preterm placenta |
| Sample Processing Description | Human normal-term and preterm placentas were collected clinically and processed for longitudinal paraffin embedding, allowing visualization of both the amnion and chorion membranes. |
| Other Reagents | Goat serum, DAPI, anti-fade mounting medium |
| Primary Antibody | Anti-CD68 Antibody |
| Primary Incubation | 1:1000, overnight at 4 ℃ |
| Secondary Antibody | DyLight 594-conjugated Donkey Anti-Mouse IgG (H+L)(BA1148) |
| Secondary Incubation | 1:500, 45 min in 37℃ |
| Detection | Image system:Leica DM2500 |
| Results Summary | In normal placentas, macrophages are scarce or nearly absent, showing only sporadic CD68 expression, whereas in preterm placentas with inflammation, macrophages are abundant and CD68 expression is markedly increased, consistent with expected theoretical data. |
