The antibody MEM-M6/2 recognizes extracellular Ig domain D1 of CD147 (Neurothelin), a 50-60 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein primarily expressed on all leukocytes, red blood cells, platelets and endothelial cells, it is not expressed by resting lymphocytes. The antibody MEM-M6/1 is a high-affinity antibody capable of binding to unstimulated peripheral blood T cells.
Purification
Purified from ascites by protein-A affinity chromatography
Immunogen
A soluble recombinant form of CD147, CD147Rg, which consists of the cDNA coding for the entire extracellular region of CD147 fused to the DNA coding for the hinge region, CH2 and CH3 domain of Human IgG1.
