Antibody DetailsProduct DetailsReactive Species Human Host Species Mouse Recommended Isotype Controls Recommended Dilution Buffer Product Concentration ≥ 5.0 mg/ml Endotoxin Level < 1.0 EU/mg as determined by the LAL method Purity ≥95% monomer by analytical SEC ⋅ >95% by SDS Page Formulation This monoclonal antibody is aseptically packaged and formulated in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline (150 mM NaCl) PBS pH 7.2 - 7.4 with no carrier protein, potassium, calcium or preservatives added. Due to inherent biochemical properties of antibodies, certain products may be prone to precipitation over time. Precipitation may be removed by aseptic centrifugation and/or filtration. Product Preparation Functional grade preclinical antibodies are manufactured in an animal free facility using in vitro cell culture techniques and are purified by a multi-step process including the use of protein A or G to assure extremely low levels of endotoxins, leachable protein A or aggregates. Storage and Handling Functional grade preclinical antibodies may be stored sterile as received at 2-8°C for up to one month. For longer term storage, aseptically aliquot in working volumes without diluting and store at ≤ -70°C. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles.

DescriptionDescriptionSpecificity 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 surface membrane antigen (Mr 67 kDa). Background Anti-Human CD5 can be used in research to study B-lymphocyte subsets or characterization of leukemias and lymphomas. 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. Ligand/Receptor CD72 PubMed NCBI Gene Bank ID UniProt.org Research Area Costimulatory Molecules .

Clone UCHT-2 is a mouse anti-human CD5 monoclonal antibody commonly used in humanized mouse models to specifically target and study human CD5-positive T cells and B cells in vivo. Its primary use in these studies is to deplete, modulate, or trace human CD5-expressing immune cells, enabling analysis of human immune cell function, trafficking, or depletion within a mouse environment. Essential context for in vivo mouse studies:
Additional relevant information:
In summary, UCHT-2 is used in vivo in mouse studies to identify, deplete, or modulate human CD5+ T and B cells in humanized mouse models, supporting investigations in immunology, cell therapy, and disease modeling. The UCHT-2 antibody specifically targets CD5, a surface marker found on T cells and a subset of B cells. In the scientific literature, when UCHT-2 (anti-CD5) is used, it's commonly part of multicolor flow cytometry panels or immunophenotyping assays alongside several other antibodies and markers to distinguish and subclassify lymphocyte populations or analyze immune cell states. Frequently used antibodies or proteins in combination with UCHT-2 include:
Typical applications using these combinations include:
In summary, UCHT-2 (anti-CD5) is most commonly used in conjunction with major T and B cell markersCD3, CD19, CD20, CD4, CD8, CD45and, increasingly, with novel or functional markers like CD22 or CD79 in more specialized settings. This approach allows for detailed immune profiling in both basic research and clinical diagnostics. Summary of Key Findings from Clone UCHT-2 (Anti-CD5 Antibody) in Scientific LiteratureClone UCHT-2 is a widely used monoclonal antibody against human CD5, a 67 kDa glycoprotein expressed on most T lymphocytes, thymocytes, and a subset of B lymphocytes. The antibody has been utilized in research and clinical diagnostics for several decades, with findings spanning immunophenotyping, hematological malignancies, and fundamental immunology.

ConclusionClone UCHT-2 is a highly specific and reliable antibody for the identification of human T lymphocytes and CD5+ B-cell subsets, with broad applications in research and clinical diagnosticsespecially in hematological malignancy classification, immunophenotyping, and basic immunology studies. It remains a benchmark reagent for studying CD5 biology and its role in human immune cell populations. Dosing regimens of clone UCHT-2 (an anti-human CD5 monoclonal antibody) in mouse models are not universally standardized and can vary significantly depending on the mouse model, the specific research application, and the protocol design. There is no widely published, fixed dosing regimen for UCHT-2 in mice, as optimal doses and schedules are rarely detailed in vendor documentation or public antibody handbooks. Most common findings and considerations:
Key point: Since UCHT-2 is species-specific (human CD5) and not cross-reactive with mouse CD5, it will have little to no effect in wild-type mice and is only functional in humanized or transgenic mice expressing human CD5. Summary Table: (Example approach to dosing, drawn from broader anti-human antibody guidelines):| Application | Mouse Model Type | Typical Dose (?g/mouse) | Route | Notes ||-----------------------------------|-------------------------|-------------------------|-------------------|----------------------------------------------------------|| Flow Cytometry (ex vivo) | Any | 10 ?l at 1:10 dilution | Cell suspension | For labeling human cells only || In vivo functional (eg depletion) | Humanized mice | 100–500 (pilot range) | Intraperitoneal | Adjust based on reconstitution, efficacy, toxicity || WT mice (no human CD5) | Wild-type, not humanized| Not Effective | n/a | No cross-reactivity with mouse CD5 | Conclusion: Optimal in vivo dosing of clone UCHT-2 in mouse models must be empirically determined for each setting, guided by protocols for similar anti-human antibodies in reconstituted mice, and should involve titration studies with close monitoring for efficacy and adverse effects. No universal or model-specific regimen for UCHT-2 is available in the peer-reviewed or vendor-supplied literature as of the current date. References & Citations1.
