anti-CD6 Purified (Preservative-free)
Human CD6 is expressed on peripheral blood T cells, most thymocytes and a subset of B cells. CD6 is similar to CD5 and contains three cysteine-rich domains with structural homology to the macrophage scavenger receptor. CD6 is involved in T cell activation and its ligand was recently identified (2, 4).
Isotype: Murine IgG1kappa
Immunogen: Human rheumatoid synovial T cell line (ST-1)
Specificity: Antibody UCMCD6/3F7B5 recognizes an epitope within Domain 1 of the CD6 molecule of approximately 130 kd (5).
Functional Application: Antibody UMCD6 is a useful reagent to study T cell activation through CD6.
