Product Overview
Antibody UM-8D6 recognizes extracellular epitope 2 within the n-terminal Ig domain (1) of the human CD147 molecule, about 35-40 kd (2)
Human CD147 (EMMPRIN, Basigin) is a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed more intensely on thymocytes than on mature peripheral blood T cells. Expression of CD147 in bronchial epithelial cells has been correlated with incidence of COPD(3).

Immunogen / Antigen
Human T cell line Molt 13
Functional Activity
UM-8D6 inhibits homotypic aggregation, adhesion to matrix proteins and migation through matrigel (1). This antibody can inhibit homotypic induction of MMP (Matrix metalloproteinase), as well as cyclophilin mediated chemotactic resposes (4). It has been shown to inhibit proliferation of stimulated T cells in vitro (7). UM-8D6 is recommended for use in Western blot at 0.1 – 1 ug/ml (5). It works on acetone fixed frozen section IHC (6).
Safety & Handling
For Research Use Only (RUO). Not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. Handle as a potential biohazard in accordance with good laboratory practices.

This antibody has been validated for FC, IP, WB. Always refer to the product datasheet for recommended dilution ranges and appropriate positive control samples for each application type.
Validated reactivity has been confirmed for Human. Cross-reactivity with additional species may exist based on sequence homology but has not been confirmed by the manufacturer. For unlisted species, we recommend running a preliminary validation experiment.
This antibody was raised in Mouse. For indirect detection (WB, IHC, IF), select an anti-Mouse secondary antibody that matches the isotype. For direct detection, check the variant selector for conjugated formats. Confirm secondary antibody compatibility before ordering.

Please refer to the storage conditions on the product label and datasheet. As a general best practice: upon receipt, aliquot into single-use volumes to minimize freeze-thaw cycling, which can progressively reduce antibody performance and lead to aggregation.
Validated reactivity covers Human samples. Performance can vary across different cell lines and tissue types depending on target antigen expression levels and epitope accessibility. We recommend verifying target expression in your specific model system using a known positive control before proceeding to experimental samples.
