Additional Information

Alternative name: CD6

Gene ID: 11q13

Immunogen: Human CD6 antigen purified by immunoaffinity chromatography from HBP-ALL cellsfollowed by preparative SDS-PAGE of non-boiled non-reduced sample (excised piece of gelcorresponding to the 100 kDa zone).

Isotype: IgG1

Clone: MEM-98

Description: CD6, also known as T12, is a member of the scavenger receptor superfamily found on Tand B cell subsets, thymocytes, and acute lymphocytic leukemia cells (ALL). CD6 interactswith its ligand CD166/ALCAM (activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule) and serves as acoreceptor for T cell activation and stabilizer of the immunological synapse. CD6-ALCAMmediated cell adhesion is also important for T cell proliferation. CD6 may exert some itsfunctions via association with CD5, probably by fine-tuning CD5 signaling. Ligation of CD6has antiapoptotic role in chronic lymphocytic leukemia B cells.

Specificity: The MEM-98 antibody reacts with CD6, a 100-130 kDa single chain transmembraneglycoprotein expressed on T and B lymphocytes subsets, thymocytes, and acutelymphocytic leukemia cells.
