CD5 Antibody CD5/2416 / CD5 Monoclonal Antibody targets CD5, a type I transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR) superfamily. CD5 is predominantly expressed on T lymphocytes and selected B-cell populations, where it functions as both a surface marker and a regulator of antigen receptor signaling. Its extracellular region contains three SRCR domains, while its cytoplasmic tail participates in intracellular signaling interactions. CD5 contributes to immune homeostasis by influencing lymphocyte activation thresholds and modulating cellular responses to antigen recognition.
During T-cell development, CD5 expression is closely associated with the strength of signaling through the T-cell receptor (TCR). Developing thymocytes regulate CD5 expression in response to interactions between their TCRs and self-peptide-MHC complexes. Higher CD5 expression generally correlates with stronger self-reactivity, reflecting its role in regulating antigen receptor responsiveness. In mature T cells, CD5 participates in signaling networks that influence activation, proliferation, and survival. These functions help balance effective immune responses with mechanisms that limit excessive stimulation and maintain peripheral tolerance.
Although CD5 is widely recognized as a T-cell marker, it is also expressed by certain B-cell populations. CD5-positive B cells participate in specialized immune functions, including natural antibody production and regulation of inflammatory responses. CD5 expression is particularly relevant in hematologic malignancies, where it serves as an important immunophenotypic marker. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia and mantle cell lymphoma commonly exhibit CD5 expression, although other lymphoid neoplasms may also express this protein. Its diagnostic significance therefore depends on interpretation alongside additional lineage-associated markers.
CD5 is extensively glycosylated, contributing to an apparent molecular weight greater than that predicted from its amino acid sequence. Glycosylation can influence protein folding, stability, and interactions at the cell surface. The extracellular SRCR domains participate in molecular recognition, while intracellular signaling interactions allow CD5 to influence lymphocyte responsiveness. These structural and functional properties connect CD5 expression with immune cell identity and regulation of adaptive immune responses.
CD5 Antibody CD5/2416 provides a means of investigating this lymphocyte-associated glycoprotein in studies of immune regulation and lymphoid malignancies. Its protein microarray specificity evaluation adds evidence of selective target recognition, complementing the biological importance of CD5 in T-cell development, B-cell function, and antigen receptor signaling.
A full range of CD5 antibody reagents for immunohistochemistry, western blot, and flow cytometry is available on our CD5 Antibody collection page.
The optimal dilution of the CD5 Antibody CD5/2416 / CD5 Monoclonal Antibody for each application should be determined by the researcher.
A portion of amino acids 269-366 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for this CD5 antibody.
