Description
Specificity:
Mouse Anti-Human CD5 (Clone UCHT-2) recognizes Human CD5. This monoclonal antibody was purified using multi-step affinity chromatography methods such as Protein A or G depending on the species and isotype. Anti-Human CD5 recognizes a human T-lymphocyte antigen (Mr 67 kDa).

Antigen Distribution:
The CD5 antigen is present on approximately 70% of normal peripheral blood lymphocytes and >90% of all T-lymphocytes. T-lymphocytes in the thymus stain weakly while peripheral T-cells stain strongly. Monocytes, granulocytes and NK cells are not stained.1 Anti-CD5 also reacts with a distinct subset of normal B-lymphocytes, occasional cells in B-lymphocyte areas of spleen and lymph node, and most Ig+ B-chronic lymphoblastic leukemia (CLL) cells. The CD5 antigen has also been shown to be present on some lymphomas.

Background:
Anti-Human CD5 can be used in research to study B-lymphocyte subsets or characterization of leukemias and lymphomas.

Reporter Molecule:
Fluorescein (FITC) is a small fluorescent organic molecule with a molecular weight of 473 daltons with an absorbance maximum of ~492 nm and an emission maximum of ~518 nm.

Known Species Cross Reactivity: Hu+
Host Species
Mouse
Formulation
This Fluorescein (FITC) conjugate is formulated in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline (PBS) pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 1% BSA and 0.09% sodium azide as a preservative.
Storage and Stability
This Fluorescein conjugate is stable when stored at 2-8°C. Do not freeze.
Reported Applications
FC
Flow Cytometry: This antibody can be used at a concentration of ≤ 20 µl per 100 µl of whole blood (or per 1.0 x 106 cells in a 100 µl total staining volume).
Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications.
