CD6 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that contains a 24-amino acid signal sequence, three extracellular 'scavenger receptor cysteine-rich' (SRCR) domains, a membrane-spanning domain and a 44-amino acid cytoplasmic domain. The CD6 glycoprotein is tyrosine phosphorylated during TCR-mediated T cell activation. CD6 shows significant homology to CD5. CD6 is present on mature thymocytes, peripheral T cells and a subset of B cells. Antibodies to CD6 are used to deplete T cells from bone marrow transplants to prevent graft versus host disease.

Flow Cytometry: 0.5-1 ug/million cells in 0.1ml Immunofluorescence: 0.5-1 ug/ml Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 0.5-1 ug/ml for 30 minutes at RT (1) Prediluted format: incubate for 30 min at RT (2) The optimal dilution of the anti-CD6 antibody for each application should be determined by the researcher.

1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM Citrate Buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes.
2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
