Monoclonal Antibody

Membrane Cofactor Protein (CD46) is a type 1 membrane protein that plays an important inhibitory role in the complement system. CD46 regulates the complement cascade by inhibiting C3b and C4b deposited on self tissue. This protein is a cofactor that binds to C3b and C4b, allowing their degradation by a plasma serine protease called factor I. This function resides in the complement control protein repeats (CCPs), with CCP1-4 essential for regulation. CD46 is implicated in the development and/or progression of selected cancer types.

Liquid in. Phosphate-Buffered Saline (pH 7.4) with 0.02% Sodium Azide, 10% glycerol

The antibody has been tested by ELISA, Western blot, ICC/IF, FACS and IHC analysis to assure specificity and reactivity. Since application varies, however, each investigation should be titrated by the reagent to obtain optimal results.

ICC/IF analysis of CD46 in HeLa cells. The cell was stained with ATGA0326 (1:100). The secondary antibody (green) was used Alexa Fluor 488. DAPI was stained the cell nucleus (blue).

Flow cytometry analysis of CD46 in PBMC cells. The cell was stained with ATGA0326 at 2-5ug for 1x10^6cells (red). A Goat anti mouse IgG (Alexa fluor 488) was used as the secondary antibody. Mouse monoclonal IgG was used as the isotype control (dark gray), cells without incubation with primary and secondary antibody was used as the negative control (light gray).
