Basigin, also known as CD147 or EMMPRIN (extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer), is a multifunctional transmembrane glycoprotein that plays pivotal roles in tumor invasion, inflammation, and immune cell activation. As a potent inducer of matrix metalloproteinases, BSG facilitates extracellular matrix degradation and tissue remodeling, making it a critical target in cancer biology and immunology research. Its involvement in diverse biological processes, from leukocyte activation to blood-brain barrier function, positions BSG as a valuable marker across multiple research disciplines.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 31H4, offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding experimental workflows require. Generated against recombinant human BSG protein and produced using recombinant technology, this antibody provides sequence-defined specificity with minimal lot-to-lot variation, ensuring reliable results across extended studies and multi-site collaborations.
Validation data demonstrates robust performance across multiple platforms. In Western blot applications, the antibody detects BSG in diverse human cell lines including HeLa, A431, HEK293, Colo205, and 786-O at dilutions of 1:500–1:2000. The observed band size of approximately 55 kDa, higher than the predicted molecular weight, reflects the extensive glycosylation characteristic of this heavily modified transmembrane protein. Immunohistochemistry validation in human liver cancer and kidney tissues confirms reliable tissue staining at 1:50–1:200 dilutions. Flow cytometry analysis in 786-O cells further demonstrates the antibody's utility for cellular phenotyping applications.
Supplied in a glycerol-based PBS buffer for optimal stability, this affinity-purified human IgG1 antibody supports immunology researchers investigating tumor microenvironment dynamics, immune cell biology, and CD147-mediated signaling pathways.
