CD6 Monoclonal / APC-Vio770 / REA311

Product Details
Description Clone REA311 recognizes the murine CD6 antigen, a Single-pass type I membrane protein which is expressed on most CD4+CD8+ double-positive, CD4+ or CD8+ single-positive thymocytes, and at highest levels on mature CD3+ thymocytes. In marked contrast to human CD6, mouse CD6 has a long cytoplasmic tail that is not closely related to other proteins. CD6 functions as an adhesion molecule as well as costimulatory molecule for TCR-mediated T cell activation. In thymocytes that express heterogeneous TCR, CD6 increases occur as double-positive thymocytes are selected to a single-positive stage. In contrast, in thymocytes from TCR transgenic mice, CD6 is barely increased following selection, suggesting that as functional avidity increases, requirements for CD6-dependent co-stimulation decrease. During thymic development CD6-dependent signals may contribute both to thymocyte survival, and to the overall functional avidity of selection. | Additional information: Clone REA311 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors. |

About CD6
This gene encodes a protein found on the outer membrane of T-lymphocytes as well as some other immune cells. The encoded protein contains three scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR) domains and a binding site for an activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule. The gene product is important for continuation of T cell activation. This gene may be associated with susceptibility to multiple sclerosis (PMID: 19525953, 21849685). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]
About APC-Vio770
APC-Vio®770 from Miltenyi is a tandem fluorophore with APC as the donor and has an excitation peak at 652 nm and an emission peak at 775 nm, and is spectrally similar to APC-Cy® 7 (GE Healthcare) APC-H7 (BD Biosciences), APC-eFluor™ 780 (ThermoFisher Scientific), APC-Vio®770 (Miltenyi Biotec), and APC-Fire™ 750 (BioLegend). The Vio® dye family are products of Miltenyi Biotec, with many antibody conjugates designed and validated for flow cytometry.
