CD46, Mouse, mAb MM10
The monoclonal antibody MM10 recognizes membrane cofactor protein (MCP), also known as CD46. MCP is a type I membrane glycoprotein that consists of four isoforms i.e. two C-isoforms (51-58 kDa) and two BC isoforms (59-68 kDa) which arise by alternative splicing of a single CD46 gene. Membrane cofactor protein is expressed on every cell and tissue, with the exception of erythrocytes. Membrane cofactor protein serves to down-regulate the activation of complement on host tissue. MCP is a cofactor for factor 1-mediated cleavage of C3b and C4b and this way serves to protect the host cell against autologous attack. MCP is a receptor for several pathogens including measles virus, group A Streptococcus pyogenes and pathogenic Neisseria.

- Navigating the pitfalls in complement analysisOur colleague Erik Toonen shared his experience on how to analyze complement at the Complement-based Drug Development Summit in Boston in September 11-13th, 2023. He showed valuable insights on analyzing complements. For accurate complement analysis, it is important that not only the correct technique is used but also that pre-analytical sample handling is performed in… Read more: Navigating the pitfalls in complement analysis
- NEW Human C3d ELISAWe are happy to introduce our new ELISA (cat.# HK3017) designed to detect human C3d. What sets this assay apart is its utilization of a distinctive neo-epitope capture antibody that selectively targets a specific C3d region of the alpha chain, which is not available in other C3 variants. This way it specifically distinguishes C3d from native C3… Read more: NEW Human C3d ELISA
