mouse monoclonal IgG1; CD47 Antibody (B6H12) is an IgG1 κ mouse monoclonal CD47 antibody (also designated IAP antibody, OA3 antibody, MER6 antibody, or anti-CD47 antibody) that detects the CD47 protein of human origin by WB, IP, IF, IHC(P) and FCM. CD47 Antibody (B6H12) is available as both the non-conjugated anti-CD47 antibody form, as well as multiple conjugated forms of anti-CD47 antibody, including agarose, PE, FITC and multiple Alexa Fluor® conjugates. CD47 is an integral membrane protein that plays a role in the regulation of cation fluxes across cell membranes. Specifically, CD47 is involved in the increase in intracellular calcium concentration that occurs upon cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix. It is also a receptor for the C-terminal cell binding domain of thrombospondin (SIRP). CD47 is absent from Rh-null erythrocytes, but does play a role in cell adhesion in non-erythroid cells and may prevent premature elimination of erythrocytes. It may also be involved in membrane permeability changes following viral infection. CD47 is expressed on hemopoietic cells, epithelial cells, endothelial cells and fibroblasts and is strongly expressed in brain and mesenchymal cells.
