Anti-BSG Antibody

The rabbit polyclonal antibody targets basigin (BSG), a widely expressed transmembrane glycoprotein also designated CD147 and EMMPRIN. This unconjugated IgG reagent from Antibodies.com detects the human protein across multiple experimental setups, supporting western blot analysis of cell lysates and tissue extracts, immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections, immunocytochemistry of cultured cells, and immunofluorescence imaging for subcellular localization studies.

BSG participates in extracellular matrix remodeling, leukocyte activation, and developmental signaling, and functions as a host-cell receptor exploited by certain pathogens during entry. Research applications include profiling tumor cell surface expression in oncology studies, mapping retinal and neural tissue distribution, investigating spermatogenesis and reproductive biology, characterizing immune cell interactions, and studying viral receptor usage. The 200 µl volume is supplied in solution; for long-term storage, aliquot and freeze at -20°C to preserve activity across multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
