CloneID: OX-47
Heavy Chain modification: Fc Silent™
Antigen Long Description: Mice immunized with rat T blasts from a mixed lymphocyte reaction between purified CD4+ T cells and irradiated spleen cells.
Buffer Composition: PBS only.
Chimeric Use Statement: This chimeric rat antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Mouse IgG1 format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
Uniprot Accession No.: P26453
Specificity Statement: This antibody is specific for rat CD147, which has a broad distribution; OX-47 labels T and B cell blasts, peritoneal macrophages, the endothelium of all except large vessels and kidney tubules, but does not label TDL and thymocytes.
Application Notes (Clone): This antibody binds mouse CD147, and has been used in FC and IHC-fr analysis to characterise CD147 and detect the cell types on which it is expressed, indicating that CD147 is a lymphocyte activation marker (Paterson, 1987). This antibody failed to give immunoprecipitates from radiolabelled activated T cells.
