ED1	Monoclonal antibody staining a single chain glycoprotein of 110 kDa on the lysosomal membrane of myeloid cells, i.e., the majority of tissue macrophages (being the rat homologue of human CD68)
ED2	Monoclonal antibody reacting with a membrane antigen (175, 160, and 95 kDa) on resident rat macrophages such as monocytes and dendritic cells. ED2 discriminates between thymic cortical (positive for ED2) and medullary (negative for ED2) macrophages. The antigen is identical with CD163.
ED3	Monoclonal antibody recognizing the rat CD169 cell surface antigen, a 185 kDa molecule expressed by macrophages in lymphoid organs (no monocytes or granulocytes). In the thymus, the antigen is expressed on clusters of dendritic cells (thymic nurse cells or TNC’s) in the (outer) cortex.
