Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects basigin (gene Bsg) in mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC, ICC/IF, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 42.4 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 45 kDa.
Basigin (BSG, also called CD147 or EMMPRIN) is an immunoglobulin superfamily transmembrane glycoprotein. It acts as a chaperone for monocarboxylate transporters such as MCT1 and MCT4 and stimulates matrix metalloproteinase production, and it is the red blood cell receptor used by Plasmodium falciparum RH5 during invasion.

Samples with a confirmed band (WB): rat heart tissue, rat kidney tissue, rat liver tissue, mouse heart tissue, mouse kidney tissue, mouse liver tissue.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.25 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): mouse colon tissue, mouse kidney tissue, rat kidney tissue, rat testis tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0).
Samples with confirmed staining (ICC/IF): mouse colon tissue, rat colon tissue.
Samples with a confirmed signal (flow cytometry): mouse PBMC cells.
Immunogen
Recombinant mouse Bsg fragment (Ser39–Arg325), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with mouse and rat. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (mouse): Retina-specific. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
