Product Overview
Clone BGG-3 is a rabbit monoclonal antibody that recognizes CD63 antigen in human samples and is validated for Western blot and IHC. The predicted molecular weight is 25.6 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 26 kDa.
CD63 is a tetraspanin found in late endosomes, lysosomes and multivesicular bodies, and on the cell surface. It is enriched on exosomes, where it is one of the most widely used markers, and it also serves as a marker of basophil and platelet activation.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 1:500–1:2000 |
|---|---|
| Immunohistochemistry | 1:50–1:200 |
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): human spleen tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide based on the sequence of human CD63.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human. UniProt places CD63 antigen in the cell membrane, lysosome membrane, late endosome membrane and endosome. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Detected in platelets (at protein level). The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.

Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
