Anti-CD5 (T-cell Surface Glycoprotein CD5, Lymphocyte Antigen T1/Leu-1, LEU1)

CD5 is a 67kD single chain type I glycoprotein also known as Leu-1, Ly-1 and T1. It is a member of the scavenger receptor superfamily found on T cells, thymocytes, B cell subsets, chronic B lymphocytic leukemia (B-Cells), and peripheral blood dendritic cells. CD5 modulates T and B cell receptor signaling, thymocyte maturation, and T-B cell interactions upon binding to ligands such as CD72. Applications: Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry, Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Flow Cytometry: <1ug/10e6 cells in 100ul, Immunohistochemistry: acetone-fixed frozen, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
