Others This anti-macrophage monoclonal antibody, AM-3K, was produced by using human alveolar macrophages as immunogen. AM-3K reacts intensely with most of macrophages in lymphoreticular organs and in many other organs and tissues. AM-3K also reacts with the macrophages in many pathological conditions. However, this antibody does not react with dendritic cell population, such as epidermal Langerhans cells, interdigitating cells in the paracortex of lymph nodes, nor follicular dendritic cells. Lymphocytes, granulocytes and freshly isolated blood monocytes are also negative. Reaction products for AM-3K were found on the cytoplasmic membrane of macrophages by immunoelectron microscopy.
In both cryostat sections and formalin-fixed paraffin sections, this antibody recognizes the antigen presenting on the cell surface membrane of tissue macrophages, but not monocytes or dendritic cells.
The molecular weights of the antigen recognized by AM-3K are 120 and 70 kDa.
