Anti-CD52 (CD52 Antigen, CD52 Molecule, CDw52, Cambridge Pathology 1 Antigen, CAMPATH 1, CAMPATH-1 A

The CD52 antigen is a remarkably small peptide that is heavily glycosylated, and attached to the cell surface membrane via a GPI link. The apparent molecular mass of the antigen on SDS-PAGE is 25-29kD. CD52 is expressed at high density by lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, thymocytes and macrophages. It is expressed by most lymphoid derived malignancies, although expression on myeloma cells is variable. Humanized versions of CAMPATH-1 specific antibodies are currently in clinical trials for the treatment of a range of lymphoid malignancies. Applications: Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Flow Cytometry: Neat, 10ul labels 10e6 cells in 100ul, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Lyophilized powder may be stored at 4°C. Reconstitute by adding sterile buffer or ddH2O. Aliquot and store at 4°C. DO NOT FREEZE! Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. Freezing R-Phycoerythrin (PE) conjugates will result in a substantial loss of activity. PE conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
