Monoclonal Mouse Anti-Human
Myeloid/Histiocyte Antigen
Clone MAC 387
Reacts with a human cytoplasmic antigen (L1-antigen or calprotectin) which contains two different subunits (L1H and L1L). The protein is a member of the S100 family, and the subunits are in this context termed S100A8 and S100A9. It is expressed in granulocytes, blood monocytes, tissue histiocytes, squamous mucosal epithelia, and reactive epidermis. The antibody is useful for demonstrating tissue histiocytes in tissue sections from malignant lymphomas, and for detecting lymphoid neoplasms of histiocytic origin.

Intended Use
For in vitro diagnostic use.
Monoclonal Mouse Anti-Human Myeloid/Histiocyte Antigen, Clone MAC 387, is intended for use in immunocytochemistry. The antibody labels tissue histiocytes and is a useful tool for the identification of histiocytosis belonging to either the malignant variety (1, 2) or the haemophagocytic syndromes (1). Differential identification is aided by the results from a panel of antibodies. Interpretation must be made within the context of the patient's clinical history and other diagnostic tests by a qualified pathologist.

Immunogen
Peripheral blood monocyte components isolated by affinity chromatography of detergent-solubilized monocyte material (2).
Specificity
The antibody was clustered as anti-myeloid at the Third International Workshop and Conference on Human Leucocyte Differentiation Antigens (6).
In Western blotting of purified L1 protein separated by isoelectric focusing, the antibody labels bands identical to the bands labelled by polyclonal rabbit anti-L1 (5).
In air-dried, acetone-fixed cytocentrifuge preparations of peripheral blood, the antibody labels monocytes and granulocytes, whereas no labelling of lymphocytes is observed (2).
