Short Decsription
This product is a ready-to-use IHC kit for staining of mouse F4/80. The kit provides all reagents, from antigen retrieval to cover slip mounting, that require little to no diluting or handling prior to use. Simply apply the reagents to your sample slide according to the protocol and you're steps away from obtaining high-quality IHC data.
Description
Mouse F4/80, also named as EMR1 and Gpf480, is a 160kd cell surface glycoprotein which is a member of the EGF TM7 family. The F4/80 molecule is solely expressed on the surface of macrophages and serves as a marker for mature macrophage tissues, including Kupffer cells in liver, splenic red pulp macrophages, brain microglia, gut lamina propria and Langerhans cells in the skin. The function of F4/80 is unclear, but it is speculated to be involved in macrophage adhesion events, cell migration or as a G protein-coupled signaling component of macrophages.
