Invitrogen™ CD47 Monoclonal Antibody (miap301), eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Rat Monoclonal Antibody

Description: The monoclonal antibody miap301 reacts to CD47 also known as integrin-associated protein (IAP), and neurophilin. CD47 is a glycosylated five transmembrane protein with a small cytoplasmic domain. CD47 is involved in adhesion through interactions with SIRP (signal regulator protein) and is non-covalently associated with β3 integrins CD51/CD61, CD41/CD61. It is also known to be the receptor for thrombospondin. T cell expression of CD47 can mediate activation or apoptosis (in the presence of high levels of thrombospondin). Expression is found in the majority of hematopoietic cells including T and B cells, monocytes, platelets and erythrocytes (as part of the Rh complex). Expression is also found in non-hematopoietic cells. No crossreactivity is seen against human CD47. Applications Reported: This miap301 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis, immunoprecipitation, immunoblotting (WB) under nonreducing conditions, and immunohistology staining of frozen tissue sections. Applications Tested: This miap30 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse splenocytes. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.5 μg per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test.
