The antibody was conjugated with Alexa Fluor® 647 under optimal conditions, and is at >85% purity. The solution is free of unconjugated Alexa Fluor® 647.
Storage & Handling:
The antibody solution should be stored undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.
Application:
FC - Quality tested
Recommended Usage:
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For immunofluorescent staining, the suggested use of this reagent is 5 µl per million cells or 5 µl per 100 µl of whole blood. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.

Description:
CD52, also known as Cambridge pathology antigen 1 (CAMPATH-1), is a 25-29 kD glycoprotein containing a large N-linked carbohydrate moiety. The actual molecule of CD52 is only 8-9 kD. It is expressed in the male reproductive tract and on virtually all lymphocytes (T and B cells), as well as macrophages/monocytes, eosinophils, and red cells. CD52 is thought to play a role in carrying and orienting carbohydrates. CD52 is a potent target for complement-mediated lysis and antibody-mediated cellular cytotoxicity and has been used as a depletion target for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/lymphoma and immunosuppression.
Other Names:
Cambridge pathology antigen 1 (CAMPATH-1), epididymal secretory protein 1
Male reproductive tract (epididymis, seminal vesicle), T cells, B cells, macrophage/monocyte, eosinophil, erythrocytes, malignant lymphocytes
Function:
Thought to play a role in carrying and orienting carbohydrates. Target for complement-mediated lysis and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, used as a depletion target for chronic lymphocytic leukemia/lymphoma therapy and immunosuppression.
