Description

The M3/84 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse Mac-3, the 110 kDa protein expressed by mononuclear phagocytes. The Mac-3 antigen is expressed intracellularly by bone marrow monocyte lineage and is upregulated during macrophage differentiation. Peritoneal and tissue macrophages, dendritic cells, and endothelial cells express this antigen on their surface. It is reported that Mac-3 may be identical to CD107b.

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. The M3/84 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.

Applications Tested

The M3/84 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse bone marrow and thioglycolate-elicited peritoneal exudates cell suspensions and can be used at less than or equal to 0.5 µg/million cells. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.
