MHC II

Cell Phenotypes

Cell Phenotyping with the APC FixVUE Panel

APC FixVUE Panel staining tonsil tissue. CD11c (green), CD20 (red), CD68/CD163 (yellow), MHC II (cyan), and nuclear counterstain (blue).

The APC FixVUE antibody panel enables users to identify and characterize professional antigenpresenting cells (APCs). CD11c is highly expressed on the surface of dendritic cells. CD20 is a marker of B cells. A cocktail of CD68 and CD163 identifies macrophages. MHC class II is expressed on APCs. The co-localization of these markers allows for the identification of specific subsets of cells along the dendritic, monocyte, macrophage, and B cell lineages.

CD11c

Dendritic cells

CD11c, Dendritic cells

Dendritic cells modulate T cell, B cell, monocyte/ macrophage function to link innate and adaptive immunity.

CD20

B cells

CD20, B cells

B cells function within the adaptive immune response and are responsible for the development and secretion of antibodies. CD20 is a pan-B cell marker.

CD68/CD163

Macrophages

CD68/CD163, Macrophages

Macrophages modulate the immune response.

MHC II

Professional antigen-presenting cells

MHC II, Professional antigen-presenting cells

MHC Class II is responsible for the presentation of pathogenic epitopes to the immune system.
