Specifications

Product Data

• Clone Name: MEM-258
• Applications: FC
• Recommended Dilution: Flow Cytometry analysis of human blood cells using 10 μl reagent / 100 μl of whole blood or 10⁶ cells in a suspension.
  The content of a vial (1 ml) is sufficient for 100 tests.
• Reactivities: Bovine, Human
• Host: Mouse

CD46 is 56-66 kDa dimeric transmembrane protein expressed on T and B lymphocytes, platelets, monocytes, granulocytes, endothelial cells, epithelial cells and fibroblast; it is negative on erythrocytes.
• Formulation: Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution containing 15mM sodium azide
  Label: APC
  State: Liquid purified Ig fraction
  Label: Conjugated with cross-linked Allophycocyanin under optimum conditions. The conjugate is purified by size-exclusion chromatography and adjusted for direct use.
• Conjugation: APC
• Storage: Store the antibody at 2 - 8 °C. DO NOT FREEZE! This product is photosensitive and should be protected from light.
• Stability: Shelf life: one year from despatch.

• Background: CD46 (MCP, membrane cofactor protein) is a multifunctional cell surface transmembrane protein that binds and inactivates C3b and C4b complement fragments, regulates T cell-induced inflammatory responses by either inhibiting (CD46-1 isoform) or increasing (CD46-2 isoform) the contact hypersensitivity reaction. CD46 also serves as a receptor for several human pathogens (both bacteria and viruses), and its ligation alteres T lymphocyte polarization toward antigen-presenting cells or target cells, inhibiting lymphocyte function. CD46 is a protector of placental tissue and is also expressed on the inner acrosomal membrane of spermatozoa.
• Synonyms: TLX, MIC10
