Mouse Monoclonal Antibody
Description: The monoclonal antibody B6H12 reacts to CD47 also known as integrin-associated protein (IAP), and neurophilin. CD47 is a glycosylated five transmembrane protein with a small alternatively spliced cytoplasmic domain. CD47 is involved in adhesion through interactions with SIRP (signal regulator protein) and is non-covalently associated with beta3 integrins CD51/CD61 and CD41/CD61. Furthermore this interaction can mediate bi-directional signaling to modify neural synaptic activity and regulate the phagocytic activities of macrophages. CD47 is the receptor for thrombospondin. T cell expression of CD47 can mediate activation or apoptosis (in the presence of high levels of thrombospondin). Recently stimulation of CD47 by monoclonal antibody has been shown to induce CD4+CD25- suppressive activity also increasing expression of Foxp3. 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.This antibody has been reported to have neutralizing activity.Applications Reported: This B6H12 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.Applications Tested: This B6H12 antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal human peripheral blood cells. This can be used at 5 μL (1 μg) per test.
CD47, known as integrin-associated protein (IAP), is a glycosylated transmembrane glycoprotein with five domains, expressed widely across hematopoietic cells like T and B cells, monocytes, platelets, and erythrocytes, as well as non-hematopoietic cells. It interacts with integrins such as CD51/CD61 and CD41/CD61, and serves as a receptor for thrombospondin, mediating bi-directional signaling that affects neural synaptic activity and macrophage phagocytosis. CD47 acts as a ligand for CD172a (SIRP alpha), an inhibitory receptor on macrophages, preventing phagocytosis of CD47-positive cells. This interaction influences cell migration, B cell adhesion, T cell activation, and neuronal development, particularly in synapse-rich brain and retina regions. It also modulates chondrocyte responses to mechanical signals. T cell expression of CD47 can lead to activation or apoptosis in the presence of thrombospondin. Monoclonal antibody stimulation of CD47 has been shown to induce CD4+CD25- suppressive activity and increase Foxp3 expression. CD47’s role in membrane transport, signal transduction, and its broad tissue distribution highlight its significance in various physiological processes. Trusted Sustainability Partner
