Product Overview
Clone 9E9 is a mouse monoclonal antibody that recognizes membrane cofactor protein (gene CD46) in human samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC and flow cytometry. The predicted molecular weight is 43.7 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 50–70 kDa.
CD46, or membrane cofactor protein, is a widely expressed complement regulator that serves as a cofactor for factor I in cleaving C3b and C4b on host cells. It protects self tissue from complement attack, also regulates T-cell responses, and is used as a receptor by measles virus and several other pathogens.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL (Human) |
|---|---|
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 0.5–1 µg/mL (Human) |
| Flow cytometry (fixed cells) | 1–3 µg/1×106 cells (Human) |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human HepG2 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, 50 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:10000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): human rectum cancer tissue, human liver cancer 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 a confirmed signal (flow cytometry): PBMC cells.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide from the C-terminal region of human CD46.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Expressed by all cells except erythrocytes. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
