CD46 Polyclonal Antibody

AHUS2, Antigen defined by monoclonal TRA 2 10, Antigen identified by monoclonal TRA 2 10, CD46, CD46 antigen, CD46 antigen complement regulatory protein, CD46 molecule, CD46 molecule complement regulatory protein, Complement membrane cofactor protein, MCP, MCP, Measles virus receptor, membrane cofactor protein (CD46, trophoblast-lymphocyte cross-reactive antigen), Membrane cofactor protein, MGC26544, MIC10, TLX, TRA2.10, Trophoblast leucocyte common antigen, Trophoblast leukocyte common antigen, Trophoblast lymphocyte cross reactive antigen

Acts as a cofactor for complement factor I, a serine protease which protects autologous cells against complement-mediated injury by cleaving C3b and C4b deposited on host tissue. May be involved in the fusion of the spermatozoa with the oocyte during fertilization.Also acts as a costimulatory factor for T-cells which induces the differentiation of CD4+ into T-regulatory 1 cells.T-regulatory 1 cells suppress immune responses by secreting interleukin-10, and therefore are thought to prevent autoimmunity.A number of viral and bacterial pathogens seem to exploit this property and directly induce an immunosuppressive phenotype in T-cells by binding to CD46.

Store at -20C. Avoid freeze / thaw cycles.
