Western blot (WB); separation of proteins by PAGE and subsequent transfer to a membrane. Detection of target molecules is carried out with antibodies. Some antibodies require special sample preparation steps. For details, please refer to the “Remarks” section.

Immunoprecipitation (IP); Immunoisolation or pulldown of a target molecule using an antibody. For details and product specific hints, please refer to the ”Remarks” section.

Immunocytochemistry (ICC) on 4% PFA fixed cells. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence. Some antibodies require special fixation methods. For details, please refer to the “Remarks” section.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) on 4% PFA perfusion fixed tissue with 24h PFA post fixation. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate. Some antibodies require special fixation methods or antigen retrieval steps. For details, please refer to the ”Remarks” section.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P) of formalin fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue (some antibodies require special antigen retrieval steps, please refer to the ”Remarks” section). Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate.

Immunogen Synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of mouse MARCO (UniProt Id: Q60754)
Reactivity Reacts with: mouse (Q60754).
No signal: rat (M0R9F7), human (Q9UEW3).
Other species not tested yet.
Remarks

IHC: Heat-mediated antigen retrieval (in citrate buffer pH 6) is required for immunohistochemical staining

Background

The macrophage receptor with collagenous structure (MARCO) belongs to the class A scavenger receptor (SR-A) family, all of which are transmembrane proteins with a homotrimeric structure (1). MARCO is constitutively expressed by peritoneal macrophages and splenic marginal zone macrophages. Its expression can be induced in other macrophages, such as Kupffer cells or alveolar macrophages, after bacterial infection or intravenous injection of LPS (2). MARCO mediates the binding of pathogens and unopsonized environmental particles, suggesting an important role in host defense (3). In tumor-associated macrophages, MARCO defines a subtype of suppressive TAMs (4) and is considered a potential prognostic and immunotherapeutic biomarker (5).
