Human paraffin-embedded tonsil tissue slices were prepared with a standard protocol of deparaffination and rehydration. Antigen retrieval was done with Citrate buffer 1X pH 6.0 at 95°C for 40 minutes. Tissue was washed with PBS/ 0.05% Tween20 twice for five minutes, blocked with 5% FBS and 0.2% gelatin for 30 minutes and permeabilized with 0.5% Triton X-100. Then, the tissue was stained with 10 µg/mL of purified anti-human CD68 (clone BL13756) at 4°C overnight. On the next day, the tissue was washed twice with PBS and stained with goat anti-mouse secondary antibody (Poly4053) Alexa Fluor™ 594 (red) for two hours at room temperature. The nuclei were counter staining with DAPI (blue). The image was scanned with a 10X objective and stitched with software.

CD68 is a 110 kD glycoprotein, also known as macrosialin, belonging to the sialomucin family. It is closely related to the family of acidic, highly glycosylated lysosomal-associated membrane proteins (LAMPs). CD68 is predominately expressed in cytoplasmic granules of monocytes/macrophages, dendritic cells, and granulocytes. It is one of the useful myeloid cell markers. Further studies have shown that CD68 is also expressed by a subset of hematopoietic progenitors, γ/δ T cells, NK cells, LAK cells, subset of B cells, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells. The biological function of CD68 is still unknown.
