Our CD46 (Extracellular region) mouse monoclonal primary antibody from PhosphoSolutions is produced in-house. It detects human CD46 (Extracellular region) and is Protein G purified. It is great for use in WB, ICC, IP.
Western blot of native lysates from NCI-H2052 mesothelial cells (lane 1), SK-MES-1 squamous carcinoma (lane 2), MDA-MB-231 breast carcinoma (lane 3), MeWo melanoma (lane 4), A431 skin adenocarcinoma (lane 5), LNCaP prostate cancer cells (lane 6), and MCF7 breast cancer cells (lane 7). The blot was probed with mouse monoclonal anti-CD46 (CM0371) at 1:1000.
CD46 is a complement regulatory protein that is also called membrane cofactor protein. This protein is a type 1 membrane protein that plays an important inhibitory role in the complement system. CD46 exhibits a cofactor activity that promotes inactivation of C3b and C4b by serum factor 1, thereby protecting host cells from complement-dependent cytotoxicity. CD46 can also function as a receptor for selected bacteria and viruses, and is reportedly required for proper fusion of spermatozoa to the oocyte membrane during fertilization. CD46 is overexpressed in medulloblastoma tumors, and CD46 expression has been linked with poor prognosis in breast cancer. The upregulation of CD46 may protect cancer cells from complement-dependent cytotoxicity to facilitate cancer cell immune evasion.

Unconjugated
Clone M037 mouse monoclonal antibody detects a 45-60 kDa* protein on SDS-PAGE "Native" immunoblots of human A549, MeWo, MDA-MB-231, and MCF7 cells, as well as human lung tissues. This antibody weakly detects denatured CD46. The antibody works for western blot, immunoprecipitation, ELISA capture, and immunocytochemistry.
