Human peripheral blood lymphocytes are stained with Anti-Human CD147 Monoclonal Antibody(PerCP/Cyanine5.5 Conjugated)(filled gray histogram). Unstained lymphocytes (empty black histogram) are used as control.
CD147, also known as neurothelin or basigin, is a member of the Ig superfamily. It is a 55-65 kD type I transmembrane glycoprotein which is primarily expressed on leukocytes, erythrocytes, platelets, and endothelial cells. CD147 is reported to have a function during embryonal brain development and/or play a role in integrin-mediated adhesion in brain endothelia.
