Product Overview
Clone CED-3 is a rabbit monoclonal antibody that recognizes CD9 antigen in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC, ICC/IF, immunoprecipitation and flow cytometry. The predicted molecular weight is 25.4 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 23 kDa.
CD9 is a tetraspanin that associates with integrins and other membrane proteins to influence cell adhesion, migration and platelet activation. It is required for sperm–egg fusion on the oocyte surface, and it is one of the most commonly used exosome markers.

Conditions in the example images (WB): 12% SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 1:1000 overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): human tonsil tissue, human colon cancer tissue, human prostate cancer tissue, mouse brain tissue, rat brain 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): HeLa cells.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide based on the sequence of human CD9.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt describes CD9 antigen as secreted and also located in the cell membrane and membrane. 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.
