ZooMAb^® antibodies represent an entirely new generation of recombinant monoclonal antibodies. Each ZooMAb^® antibody is manufactured using our proprietary recombinant expression system, purified to homogeneity, and precisely dispensed to produce robust and highly reproducible lot-to-lot consistency. Only top-performing clones are released for use by researchers. Each antibody is validated for high specificity and affinity across multiple applications, including its most commonly used application. ZooMAb^® antibodies are reliably available and ready to ship when you need them.

Target description

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 protein; Sushi domains 2 and 3 are essential for Herpesvirus 6 binding and domain 3 is required for Neisseria binding. Sushi domains 3 and 4 are required for interaction with Streptococcus pyogenes M protein and are considered to be the most important for interaction with C3b and C4b. CD46 exhibits both signaling and receptor properties in immune and nonimmune cells, most of which are dependent on the expression of its cytoplasmic tails. Activation of CD46 is reported to promote T cell activation and differentiation and co-stimulation of TCR with CD46 can lead to T cell proliferation. Activated CD46 also leads to Tr1 Treg differentiation and secretion of IL-10 and granzyme B. The Tr1 differentiation initiated by CD46 is attributed to its Cyt1 domain. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Physical form

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 µL.

Reconstitution

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

Storage and Stability

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 of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
