Cross React Other
Others This anti-rabbit macrophage monoclonal antibody, RbM2, was produced by using thiogllycate-elicited rabbit peritoneal macrophages as immunogen. Immunoelectoron microscopy demonstrates that RbM2 reacts with lysosomes of rabbit macrophages and monocytes. This selective reactivity was confirmed in various experiments by endocytosis. In contrast, dendritic cells, such as follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) of
lymphoid follicles, interdigitating cells(IDCs) of lymphoid T zone, or epidermal Langerhan’s cells, are not reactive with this antibody.
The antigen recognized by RbM2 is a lysosomal membrane protein with 50,000 molecular weight.
Thus, this antibody is very useful for not only in discriminating monocyte / macrophages from various cell populations but also in identifying lysosomes and their related structures in macrophages.
