[Histonet] human macrophages in human melanoma xenografts

Thanks a lot both of you!

For melanoma detection, I usually use HRP with AEC. Is there any non-mouse anti-human macrophage marker?

Thank you much,
Naira

F4/80 is a mouse macrophage marker.  If she wants to detect human
macrophages in a mouse background she will need to use a mouse
anti-human CD68.  She will need to run it with a mouse on mouse
detection system and run all of the appropriate negative controls.  I
would also select a alkaline phosphatase detection system rather than
HRP with DAB just incase the tumor has any melanin in it.  I have done
this before looking for human lymphocytes with LCA in a mouse
background.  You just need to make sure you have all of the appropriate
controls.  For a positive control I would use a human tonsil or
something like that and you need to make sure you run the appropriate
isotype negative controls.

Naira:

Here is a link to a site listing macrophage markers.  F4/80 is a
commonly mentioned marker for macrophages.  I presume you mean IHC
rather than ICH.  Enjoy.

Hi Histonetters,

I would like to be able to look at human macrophages in human melanoma
xenografts raised in mouse. Could you please suggest me a best Ab for
ICH and protocol?



Thanks in advance,

Naira
