CD6 Antibody: FITC (OABF00990-FITC)

CD6 is a type I membrane protein expressed by thymocytes, mature T cells, a subset of B cells known as B1 cells, and some cells in the brain. CD6 is a member of the scavenger receptor cysteine rich (SRCR) family of proteins, which includes the leukocyte antigen CD5. The extracellular domain of CD6 is composed of three SRCR domains and has the same domain organization as CD5. The ligand for CD6 is CD166 also known as activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule. Through its interaction with CD166 in the thymus, CD6 may have a role in T cell development.

All conjugated antibodies should be stored in light-protected vials or covered with a light protecting material (i.e. aluminum foil) . Conjugated antibodies are stable for at least 12 months at 4C. If longer storage is desired (24 months), conjugates may be diluted with up to 50% glycerol and stored at -20C to -80C. Freezing and thawing conjugated antibodies will compromise enzyme activity as well as antibody binding.
