We use F4/80 as a macrophage marker in mice.  We have also tried MAC-2.
Both work fine on FFPE tissue.  Most of our clients ask for the F4/80
marker.  We purchase ours from serotec.

Subject: [Histonet] Macrophage marker mouse tissue

Hello,
 
I am in need of a good macrophage marker on FFPE tissue.  I will be
using it on mouse tissue... mainly the heart (but other tissues may be
included).  So far I have looked into a number of antibodies (CD68,
Mac-2) but can never be certain which one to choose.
 
Thank you in advance for your help.
 
Sincerely,
 
Gustave
