Monoclonal Anti-Macrophages antibody produced in mouse

Monoclonal Anti-Human Macrophages (mouse IgM isotype) is derived from the LN-5 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from immunized BALB/c mice. Macrophages are widely distributed throughout the body. They belong to the mononuclear phagocytes family. Macrophages have abundant cytoplasm and are also termed histiocyte.

deparaffinized human peripheral blood mononuclear cells

Macrophages play a crucial role in body defense mechanisms and have phagocytic functionality. They are heterogeneous in morphology, cytochemistry, function and surface antigens. Monoclonal antibodies to macrophage and histiocyte surface or cytoplasmic antigens are important for the immunodiagnosis of both benign and malignant histiocytic lesions. They are useful in the investigation of macrophage differentiation and maturation and the diagnosis of various inflammation.
