For researchers and laboratory professionals engaged in immunohistochemical (IHC) studies targeting the CD68 antigen, the CD68 IHC Start Kit from Antbio Inc. emerges as a reliable, user-centric tool designed to simplify and optimize IHC experimental processes.
This specialized kit is tailored for the specific detection of the CD68 antigen— a well-known marker widely used in identifying macrophages, monocytes, and other phagocytic cells, making it invaluable in fields such as immunology research, pathological diagnosis, and tissue biology studies. What distinguishes this kit is its "Start Kit" positioning: it comes with all essential components (including specific primary antibodies against CD68, secondary antibodies, detection reagents, and control slides) needed to kickstart IHC experiments, eliminating the hassle of sourcing individual reagents separately.
Crafted with high-specificity antibodies and optimized detection reagents, the kit ensures clear, specific staining results with minimal non-specific background, enhancing the accuracy of target cell identification. Whether you are a seasoned researcher or a lab technician new to IHC, the kit’s straightforward protocol and pre-validated components reduce experimental variability and shorten the learning curve, enabling consistent, reproducible outcomes.

CD68 (Cluster of Differentiation 68) is a protein highly expressed by cells in the monocyte lineage (e.g., monocytic phagocytes, osteoclasts), by circulating macrophages, and by tissue macrophages. Immunohistochemistry can be used to identify the presence of CD68, which is found in the cytoplasmic granules of a range of different blood cells and myocytes. 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.
The reagent can complete 50 slides for IHC experiment and the primary antibody is excessive.
