Anti-Human CD46/TLX (MEM-258) ColorWheel^® Dye-Ready mAb

ColorWheel^® technology is a novel and proprietary method of creating your own antibody and dye combinations for use in flow cytometry. By incubating any ColorWheel^® antibody with any ColorWheel^® dye, researchers can quickly and simply produce primary conjugated antibodies for use in single color or multicolor flow cytometry analysis. Each ColorWheel^® antibody and dye is lyophilized for long-term storage, allowing for simplicity and flexibility without compromise. ColorWheel^® technology requires both ColorWheel^® antibody and ColorWheel^® dye for Flow Cytometry application.

Membrane cofactor protein (UniProt: P15529;also known as TLX;Trophoblast leukocyte common antigen;CD46) is encoded by the CD46 (also known as MCP;MIC10) gene (Gene ID: 4179) in human. CD46 is a single-pass type I membrane glycoprotein that acts as a cofactor for complement factor I;a serine protease that protects autologous cells against complement-mediated injury by cleaving C3b and C4b deposited on host tissue. It is expressed in all nucleated cells and is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-34);which is subsequently cleaved off to generate the mature form that contains an extracellular domain (aa 35-343);a transmembrane domain (aa 344-366);and a cytoplasmic domain (aa 367-392). The cytoplasmic domain has two tails that are termed as Cyt1 and Cyt2. CD46 also contains four Sushi domains that are required for its interaction with various human viruses. Sushi domains 1 and 2 are required for interaction with human adenovirus B PIV/FIBER protein and with Measles virus H prote

Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user as specimens, and experimental conditions may vary with the end user.

Clone MEM-258 is a mouse monoclonal antibody that detects CD46. It targets an epitope within the extracellular domain.

Lyophilized from PBS containing D-Mannitol and Sucrose, normal appearance is a dried pellet. Reconstituted antibody solution is stable and functional as assessed by functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide.

1.0 mg/mL after reconstitution at 25 µL in PBS. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C. Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial. Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 µL PBS. Protect from light.
