Macrophage antigen (clone EP-3), anti-human

Source:
A BALB/c mouse was immunized with human thymus.
Fusion partner: NS-1.

Specifications:
Monoclonal antibody EP-3 recognizes an antigen associated with the cytoplasm of human macrophages resident in the thymus and other lymphoid tissues. Monoclonal antibody EP-3 produces a strong cytoplasmic staining pattern of cortical thymic macrophages in formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissues specimens. It may therefore be used as a marker of this cell type and of tumors derived from the macrophage.

Species reactivity:
Positive: human.

Applications:
Monoclonal antibody EP-3 can be used to stain cortical thymic macrophages and macro phages in lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues using routinely fixed and embedded tissues.
Flow cytometry: -
Frozen sections: +
Immunofluorescence: +
Paraffin sections: +

Positive control: Thymus, tonsil.
