CD5 (Mantel Cell Lymphoma Marker); 4C7
Species: Mouse Monoclonal
Clone: 4C7
Isotype: IgG1
Species Reactivity: Human
Specificity: This antibody recognizes a 67kD transmembrane protein, which is identified as CD5. The CD5 antigen is found on 95% of thymocytes and 72% of peripheral blood lymphocytes. In lymph nodes, the main reactivity is observed in T cells. CD5 is expressed by many T cell leukemia, lymphomas, and activated T cells. Occasionally, CD5 antigen is also expressed on a subset of B cells. Mantle cell lymphomas (same as diffuse centrocytic lymphomas) are CD5+ while the follicle center cell lymphoma are CD5-.
