Anti-CD5 Antibody

Description

CD5 is a cluster of differentiation expressed on the surface of T cells various species and in a subset of murine B cells known as B-1a. The expression of this receptor in human B cells has been a controversial topic and up to date there is no consensus regarding the role of this receptor as a marker of human B cells. B-1 cells have limited diversity of their B-cell receptor due to their lack of the enzyme terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase TdT and are potentially self-reactive.
