anti-CD46 FITC Conjugate
Human CD46 is a cell surface glycoprotein expressed on almost all human cells except erythrocytes. CD46 is involved with regulation of complement activation and is also a measles virus receptor.
Isotype: Murine IgG2a
Immunogen: Human PBL and EBV transformed LCL
Specificity: Antibody 169-1-E4.3 recognizes the SCR1 epitope of CD46 (3).
Functional Application: Antibody 169-1-E4.3 does not block MCP function (3). Ancell anti-CD46 has been used to detect acrosome-reacted human speratozoa (5), and for FACS phenotype of monocytes in measles patients(7).
