Rat anti Dog CD5 antibody, clone YKIX322.3recognises canine CD5, a 67kD cell surface type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein also known as Lymphocyte antigen T1, Ly-1 or Leu-1. CD5 is expressed on the surface of T cells and thymocytes, CD5 is also expressed by NK cells at low levels (Huanget al.2008). Rat anti dog CD5, cloneYKIX322.3 was clustered as canine CD5 in the First Canine Leucocyte Antigen Workshop (Cobboldet al.1994).
In a study of 73 cases of canine chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) CD5 expression was absent on all cases of B cell CLL as defined by CD21 expression and lack of CD3 or other T cell antigen expression (Vernau and Moore 1999). Rat anti dog CD5 serves as a useful marker for the discrimination of canine leukemias of differing origins (Villiers 2002).
Fusion Partners
Spleen cells from an immunised DA rat were fused with cells of the rat Y3/Ag1.2.3 myeloma cell line.
