This antibody is intended for in vitro diagnostic use. Ventana Medical Systems, Inc. (Ventana) CONFIRM anti-CD68 (KP-1) Primary Antibody is a mouse monoclonal antibody, class IgG1 kappa. The antibody is intended for qualitative staining in sections of formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissue on a Ventana automated slide stainer. CONFIRM anti-CD68 reacts with a 110 KD intracellular glycoprotein associated with the cell membrane of macrophages and some myeloid elements.1,2,3,4 Unexpected antigen expression or loss of expression may occur, especially in neoplasms. Occasionally stromal elements surrounding heavily stained tissue or cells will show immunoreactivity. The clinical interpretation of any staining, or the absence of staining, must be complemented by morphological studies and evaluation of proper controls. Evaluation must be made by a qualified pathologist within the context of the patient’s clinical history and other diagnostic tests. Caution: U.S. Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
