Alternative Name | CD147; BSG; Cluster of differentiation 147; Extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer; EMMPRIN; 5F7; Collagenase stimulatory factor; Leukocyte activation antigen M6; Tumor cell-derived collagenase stimulatory factor; TCSF |
UniProt | P35613 |
Immunogen | Recombinant ectodomains of human basigin. |
Application Notes | The antibody binds specifically to basigin, a protein of the immunoglobulin superfamily which is expressed on the surface of erythrocyte and acts as a receptor for the human malaria parasite P. falciparum. The recombinant chimeric monoclonal antibody Ab-1 acts by blocking the interaction between basigin and PfRH5, a ligand necessary for the P. falciparum erythrocyte invasion, thereby inhibiting the development of malaria. |
