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.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot and Flow Cytometry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Flow Cytometry: 5x10e5 cultured human HPB-MLT cells per tube were washed and incubated 45 min on ice with 80ul of anti-CD46 antibody at a concentration of 5ug/ml. Cells were washed twice and incubated with Goat anti-Mouse IgG/FITC, after which they were washed three times, fixed and analyzed by FACS. Cells stained positive with a mean shift of 1.20 log10 fluorescent units when compared to a Mouse IgG2a negative control at a similar concentration.
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
