Labels human monocytes, macrophages and myeloid cells. It is of value for demonstrating reactive macrophages in a wide variety of normal and pathological specimens and for the identification of myeloid and histiocytic cells. Results aid in the classification of neoplasms of myeloid and macrophage/monocyte origin.

Specificity
Anti-Human CD68, clone KP1, was clustered as anti-CD68 at the Fourth International Workshop and Conference on Human Leucocyte Differentiation Antigens (5). In Western blotting of extracts of lung, spleen and U937 cells, diffuse 110, 70 and 40 kDa bands were detected when using reducing conditions. Under non-reducing conditions the spleen extract showed an additional 220 kDa band (4). SDS-PAGE analysis of immunoprecipitates formed between the antibody and 125I-labeled lysates from human spleen with B-cell lymphoma rich in macrophages shows reaction with a 110 kDa polypeptide, corresponding to CD68 (4).
