Introduction
CD5 is a useful marker for T-cells in immunohistochemistry, although not as sensitive as CD3. It is expressed in about 76% of T-cell neoplasms and is also found in chronic lymphocytic leukemia, hairy cell leukemia, and mantle cell lymphoma cells. The loss of CD5 is frequently seen in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, and its absence can be a sign of malignancy. In T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, lack of CD5 expression, while uncommon, is associated with a poor prognosis. As a receptor, CD5 plays a role in regulating T-cell proliferation.
Description
Recombinant human CD5, expressed in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain. It encompasses amino acids 25-372, resulting in a molecular weight of 41.0 kDa. The protein includes a 23 amino acid His-tag at the N-terminus and is purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
A clear, colorless solution that has been sterilized by filtration.
Formulation
The CD5 solution is provided at a concentration of 1mg/ml in a buffer composed of 20mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 10% glycerol, and 0.4M Urea.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), the product can be stored at 4°C. For extended storage, it is recommended to freeze the product at -20°C. The addition of a carrier protein such as HSA or BSA (0.1%) is advisable for long-term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Purity is determined to be greater than 80% by SDS-PAGE analysis.
Synonyms
CD5 Molecule, CD5, LEU1, CD5 Antigen (P56-62), Lymphocyte Antigen T1/Leu-1, T1, T-Cell Surface Glycoprotein CD5, CD5 Antigen.
