Specificity
The antibody MEM-M6/6 recognizes extracellular Ig domain D2 (membrane proximal) 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.
Cross-Reactivity (Details)
Human
Purification
Purified by protein-A affinity chromatography.
Purity
> 95 % (by SDS-PAGE)
Endotoxin Level
Endotoxin level is less than 0.01 EU/µg of the protein, as determined by the LAL test.
Immunogen
Protein A-CR purified soluble recombinant form of CD147, CD147Rg, which consists of the cDNA coding for the hinge region, CH2-and CH3 domain of human IgG1 (CD147Rg is secreted by transfectants as a dimmer).
Functional application: The antibody MEM-M6/6 (high-affinity mAb of unique epitope specificity) inhibits anti-CD3-induced T cell activation. Flow cytometry: recommended dilution: 1-4 μg/mL. Western blotting: Positive control: 293 human fibroblastoid cell line, non-reducing conditions.

Basigin (Ok blood group),CD147 (basigin, neurothelin, OX-47, 5A11, CE9, M6) also known as EMMPRIN (extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer) or TCSF (tumour cell-derived collagenase-stimulatory factor) is an ubiquitously expressed cell surface protein with multiple glycosylated forms. The highest level of CD147 expression is on metabolically active cells, such as lymphoblasts, inflammatory cells, brown adipocytes and malignant tumour cells. CD147 has multiple functions, including facilitating of cell surface expression of monocarboxylate transporter proteins and extracellular matrix metalloproteinases, regulation of integrin functions, it plays roles in cell development and activation, fetal development or retinal function.,Neurothelin, Basigin, LAM6, CSF, 5F7, TCSF, BSG, TCSF, Emprin, OK blood group
