ColorWheel^® technology is a novel and proprietary method of creating your own antibody and dye combinations for use in flow cytometry. By incubating any ColorWheel^® antibody with any ColorWheel^® dye, researchers can quickly and simply produce primary conjugated antibodies for use in single color or multicolor flow cytometry analysis. Each ColorWheel^® antibody and dye is lyophilized for long-term storage, allowing for simplicity and flexibility without compromise. ColorWheel^® technology requires both ColorWheel^® antibody and ColorWheel^® dye for Flow Cytometry application.

T-cell surface glycoprotein CD5 (UniProt: P06127;also known as Lymphocyte antigen T1/Leu-1;CD5) is encoded by the CD5 (also known as LEU1) gene (Gene ID: 921) in human. CD5 is a single-pass type I membrane protein that is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-24);which is subsequently cleaved off to produce the mature form that contains an extracellular domain (aa 25-372);a transmembrane domain (aa 373-402);and a cytoplasmic domain (aa 403-495). The extracellular region contains three scavenger receptor cysteine rich (SRCR) domains. CD5 is expressed on the surface of all T cells bearing the β heterodimer T cell receptor (TCR) but is absent or present at lower density on the T cell subset. It is involved in the regulation of T cell function and proliferation. It is also detected on a subset of B cells;specifically the B1 cells. However;B cells usually express two-to-five-fold fewer CD5 molecules per cell than T cells. In B cells;CD5 promotes constitutive activation of pERK1/2

Thymocytes and Sézary T cells.

Quality Control Testing

Evaluated by Flow Cytometry in Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) gated on lymphocytes.

Flow Cytometry Analysis: Staining of one million Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) gated on lymphocytes was performed with APC conjugated anti-human CD19 and with 5 µL of a 1:1 mixture of Cat. No. CWA-1183, Anti-Human CD5 (UCHT2) ColorWheel^® Dye-Ready mAb and Cat. No. CWDS-PE ColorWheel^® Antibody-Ready Phycoerythrin (PE) Dye or an equivalent amount of Cat. No. CWA-1013 Mouse IgG1 isotype control and Cat. No. CWDS-PE ColorWheel^® Antibody-Ready Phycoerythrin (PE) Dye. CD5 expression was mostly observed in CD19 negative population.

Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user as specimens, and experimental conditions may vary with the end user.

Clone UCHT2 is a mouse monoclonal antibody that detects CD5. It targets an epitope within the extracellular domain.

Lyophilized from PBS containing D-Mannitol and Sucrose, normal appearance is a dried pellet. Reconstituted antibody solution is stable and functional as assessed by functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide.

1.0 mg/mL after reconstitution at 25 µL in PBS. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C. Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial. Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 µL PBS. Protect from light.
