UltiMapper I/O APC
Identify and characterize professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs).
This APC 4-plex/5-color kit enables co-expression to visualize specific subsets of cells along the dendritic, monocyte/macrophage, and B cell lineages.
This antibody panel consists of the following markers:
- CD11c
- CD20
- CD68/CD163
- MHC Class II
- Nuclear counterstain

Cell Phenotypes
Cell Phenotyping with the UltiMapper™ I/O APC Kit
UltiMapper I/O APC kit (ULT20105) staining tonsil tissue. CD11c (green), CD20 (red), CD68/CD163 (yellow), MHC II (cyan), and nuclear counterstain (blue).
The antibody panel in the UltiMapper I/O APC kit enables users to identify and characterize professional antigen-presenting 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.

Product Biology
| Marker | Main Cell Type | Function |
|---|---|---|
| CD11c | Dendritic cells | Dendritic cells modulate T cell, B cell, monocyte/macrophage function to link innate and adaptive immunity |
| 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 | Macrophages modulate the immune response. |
| MHC II | Professional antigen-presenting cells | MHC Class II is responsible for the presentation of pathogenic epitopes to the immune system. |
Frequently Asked Questions
A
Each UltiMapper kit can stain10 slides when running the assay on the Leica BOND RX. When performing the assay manually, each kit can stain 12+ slides.
Q What image analysis software can I use?
A
Image analysis can be performed on a number of different software platforms, including Indica Labs HALO, Visiopharm, ImageJ, and other platforms that can manage multiple fluorescent channels for analysis.
Q What imaging systems do I need to have?
A
UltiMapper kits are compatible with most fluorescent scanners. However, the imaging systems will need to have the appropriate filter sets including Cy7 capabilities.
