Clone Number: EBS-CD-005
Immunogen: human CD8+ human CTL clone
Concentration: 100 ug/ml
Storage buffer: PBS with 0.02% sodium azide
Additional info: EBS-CD-005 recognizes the CD6 molecule, a single chain transmembrane glycoprotein of 120 kDa, which is expressed on the majority of mature T-cells an mature thymocytes. A B-cell subset is weakly positive and B-CLL’s may also be reactive. CD6 is a type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein that is tyrosine phosphorylated during TCR-mediated T-cell activation. CD6 shows significant homology to CD5. Antibodies to CD6 are used to deplete T-cells from bone marrow transplants to prevent graft versus host disease.
