Extracellular Vesicles Phenotyped with Microarray and Ancell mAbs

This Danish research group used a cocktail of Ancell Biotinylated anti tetraspan antibodies, anti-CD9, anti-CD63 and anti-CD81 to detect microvesicles captured on EV microarray.  The ability to characterize plasma derived exosomes in a high throughput manner may be very helpful in diagnosing cancer prognosis. “Potentials and capabilities of the Extracellular Vesicle (EV) Array” Malene Mǿller […]

CD147(Basigin) Facilitates Apolipoprotein D Cellular Internalization

Internalized ApoD is colocalized in intracellular vesicular compartments with CD147.  Downregulation of CD147 results in lower ApoD internalization.  Induction of CD147 overexpression resulted in increased ApoD internalization.  CD147 is a putative receptor for ApoD. “Apolipoprotein D Internalization Is a Basigin-dependent Mechanism” Ouafa Najyb, Louise Brissette, Eric Rassart (June 2015) J Biol Chem 290: 16077-16087.

High Density Lipoprotein augments CD36 mediated phagocytosis of Group A Streptococcus

This group demonstrated that physiologic levels of HDL act as an effective opsonin, facilitating uptake of M41-type Group A Streptococcus by human monocyte cell line U-937.  Pre incubation with anti-CD36 antibody (clone SM0) completely blocked this phagocytosis. “High-density lipoprotein acts as an opsonin to enhance phagocytosis of group A streptococcus by U937 cells.” Ling Liu,
