Description | Specificity: No cross reactivity with other proteins. Description: Rabbit IgG polyclonal antibody for CD5 detection. Tested with WB, IHC-P, IHC-F, ICC, FCM, Direct ELISA in Human; Mouse; Rat.Background: CD5 is a member of the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR) superfamily. Members of this family are secreted or membrane-anchored proteins mainly found in cells associated with the immune system. In humans, the gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 11. This protein is a type-I transmembrane glycoprotein found on the surface of thymocytes, T lymphocytes and a subset of B lymphocytes. The encoded protein contains three SRCR domains and may act as a receptor to regulate T-cell proliferation. Alternative splicing results in multip |
