General Notes
Mouse anti Pig CD46, clone 6D8/8 recognizes the porcine CD46 cell surface antigen, a ~50-60 kDa glycoprotein also known as membrane cofactor protein (MCP).Porcine CD46 is expressed on a wide range of cells including leucocytes, platelets and erythrocytes. CD46 serves as an inhibitor of complement activation on host cells.Mouse anti Pig CD46, clone 6D8/8 induces homotypic cell aggregation, (Bullido et al. 2000). .Mouse anti pig CD46, clone 6D8/8 detects a series of closely apposed bands of approximately 50-60 kDa in pig erythrocyte lysates (Perez De La Lastra et al. 1999).
